Panels UI grouping label trouble.

I hope I labeled my topic properly, if I haven't I apologize, but I don't quite understand what component and configuration is causing my trouble--I'm a total Foobar2000 n00b. That being said, I think an average or experienced user should be able to help me solve my issue easily enough with the information I provided below. I've read several posts in this forum and on the Wiki page, I just can't seem to understand it based on what I've read. If this has been covered before, I'm sorry... I just didn't see it or understand it.

I need some help with foobar2000. I downloaded a config and I have everything pretty much working like I want it. There is just one slight problem. I can't get the album art to display properly in the group display. Here is a pic:

In the code that I downloaded, it said this:

//!!!!!CHANGE TO REFLECT YOUR COVER IMAGE FILESTRUCTURE!!!!!
$imageabs2(66,66,,,,,26,10,$replace(D:\Daten\Eigene Musik\Cover\$if2(%album artist%,%artist%) - %album%.jpg,?,),)
$imageabs(17,9,images\artoverlay.png,)

I've tried changing things, but I just can't seem to get it. All of my music is in this directory: "C:\Users\Matt\Music\Foobar2000 Music". Inside that folder I have artist folders and inside the artist folders are subfolders with the albums of each, then inside each album folder is my album art. My question is what code do I put into the above string to tell it where my album art is??

Any help with this would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt

If your albumart is in the same directory as your music, this line should do the trick. Just replace the word 'front' with whatever name you give your albumarts.

$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,front)*

Thank you, is there a way that I can just tell it to use any jpg in that folder? Also, I wondered if there were a way to have Foobar put that glossy cover over my image. In the original code, when there was an empty image it would put like a glossy CD cover over it. I'd like that to be over my album art, too. I know I had seen that in some configs.

Anyway, thanks again for your help!

EDIT: I just figured it out on my own. This is great. Thanks for that line of code you gave me.
