[Feature] Support cover image file (cover.jpg, cover.png) in album/CD directory

Open jroyvde opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Description

As mentioned in the discussion under #645 , the app doesn't currently support the detection and loading of cover image files in album directories. My own collection mostly doesn't have the cover data embedded in the music files, so I see the default "sound wave" graphic for pretty much all my albums. Would be good to see this supported as in similar music apps.

Solution

Support the automatic detection and loading of cover images in album and/or CD directories.

Some albums in my collection even have separate art for the album as a whole and the CDs within it, so a "nice to have" would be to use the image in the album directory to represent the album, and, if present, images in any subdirectories to represent each of the individual songs in those directories.

Also consider filename.jpg too, to be used as cover art for music file with the same file name (e.g. filename.mp3), similar to how .lrc files work (the only difference being: filename.lrc provides lyrics, filename.jpg provides cover art).

This would probably be the most straight-forward way to allow separate cover art files for individual music files (supported in foobar2000, HibyMusic, FiiO Music, Stellio, etc.)
