Zanash, No. You call the artwork one of a variety of generic names (such as folder.jpg) and Slimserver will recognise it. I forget the full list but if you go to server settings in Slimserver and then select interface, scroll down and you will see a section on it. This section also allows you to

If your netBSD has a sound card and you are feeding the FM through a line input - then if Alsa or OSS is supported on the sound card, the you should be able to use something like arecord to get a WAV stream which in turn can be converted into Flac. This would require a small plugin similar to
