I'm pretty sure Cider had a feature like that and it worked well, is it possible you could implement it into this as well?

At first glance this would require to

get the music track location in the filesystem (AppleScript?)
extract the cover art (ffmpeg can do it - maybe use a wasm version to avoid the need to install another dependency on the user side)
push it to a hosting site (???)

I'm quite lazy to work on it right now but it looks doable. If anyone wants to develop it feel free to open a pr.

You should use a music database (such as MusicBrainz) to find the cover album first since it's not very ideal to push the image to a hosting site everytime.

The database is very very huge so most of the cover art will be there
