The following error comes up when I try to run the script within URxvt:
composite: magick/effect.c:4440: UnsharpMaskImageChannel: Assertion image != (const Image *) ((void *)0)' failed.
/usr/local/bin/coverart.sh: line 55: 8898 Aborted (core dumped) composite "${IM_ARGS[@]}" "$darkenimg" -compose Multiply "$src" "$COVER"`
