Albums with per-track artwork #62

Open Nemo157 opened 4 years ago

I have a couple of (digital) albums that have per-track covers in their metadata separate from their album cover. It's not possible to get this artwork on the current version of MPD, but the next release will have a readpicture command that can be used to get the artwork.

In general how music apps deal with this situation is quite varying, but I think macOS iTunes gets it the most right. Within the library, playlist and queue views the album artwork is used to group the tracks together, the only place the per-track artwork is used is in the now-playing widget.

If you think this is worth supporting, I can open a PR for it.

This was definitely on my roadmap so if you'd like to code it up please go for it!
