Album artwork not displayed unless embedded #198

cover.jpg files are not displayed at all. As this is a common way to use album artwork, support should probably be added. Other naming conventions include folder.jpg, album.jpg.

And as an add-on to this: if artist images could also be supported to load from the artist folder, it would be appreciated. It seems that the majority of my artists do not have any art found by whatever method Swing is using to search for it.

It could be a very good feature, as I have albums from underground black metal bands and many of them are not found. I have the cover images in the folder as cover.jpg, but they are not displayed since they are not found on Spotify or the source that SwingMusic is using.

Hi guys

Sorry for not replying sooner ... I missed this issue until @nesticle8bit commented on it.

So ... I've never thought about folder images before, all my music use embedded artwork so this never crossed my mind.

But I'll look into it and try looking for missing album art from the folders as @curbia has said. I'll look into it. However, please don't expect it to drop in the upcoming release as the feature list for that has already been frozen. Probably the next after that.

Thank you.

Please also add other folder albumart options, especially folder.jpg. Thanks! I just discovered the app and am loving it!
