[Feature]: cover art from cover.jpg/album.jpg etc

[jackandersc]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Album art is only shown in the app if it is embedded in the audio file. Would be nice to be able to have the app detect a cover.jpg file like it does with .lrc files as it can save on storage space to not have the image embedded in multiple songs.

I'm not sure if this feature already exists and what i've got is a bug, but i've looked through the issues and no one seems to have reported such a bug.

Describe the solution you'd like

i would like an option to detect album cover art from an image file (cover.jpg) within the same folder as the songs.

Describe alternatives you've considered

It's a standard feature in most music players. It means you don't have to embed the album art into every single audio file and can just have one image that is automatically detected by the app. I've never come across a music player that doesn't have this functionality.

Ok that's kinda weird and messy, but I guess it wouldn't be hard to add this.

I saw another issue where someone requested a way to add custom artist images, and this would be a way to add that feature as well, where instead of looking for cover.jpg in the album folder, it looks for artist.jpg in the artist folder.
