Yes, it is, and that is what I expected, from the description in the User Guide. This is what it looks like in BubbleDS at the 'disc' level:



The same is also true in Kazoo, and again I get the 'correct' image at disc level and below.

Not specifically, but there are cases where this would make sense. You sometimes get sets where the box cover has one image while each separate disc has (say) a cardboard cover with its own image (often with readable information about the music), and all of these images are different from the box cover image.

An example of this in my collection is a 22 disc set of Stravinsky conducting his own works. At present, this has been split into 11 different albums, each with its own artwork taken from disc covers, but I think it would be better to have a single album with 11 subtitled 'discs'. Also, one of the albums is currently using the artwork for the complete box, which doesn't really work. So to be able to use the box cover for the complete album and the individual cover images for the disc level and below would be nice.

Would it be possible to have a separate image file (say 'album.jpg' or 'album.png') at a defined level in the folder structure, which could then be identified for use as the album art in lists of complete albums? The embedded images or folder.jpg etc. files would then appear at lower levels in the hierarchy and also on 'now playing' displays. Obviously, with such an arrangement, if there were no album.jpg file at the defined location, things would work as they do at present.

I'd be interested to know what you think.
