Individual cover for each music file

Hi!
Lately I tried to manage music library on my plex server. The problem is that all music files are showing cover of first song (in this example “Devilman Cry Baby”). I want to have individual image for each of my songs.
Thanks in advance!

You can have only one cover per album. Hence the name “album art”.

Then how should I manage my files to get every song appear separately, not in albums?
My music gallery mostly contain songs not albums, so I want to display their covers individually,
like spotify

It’s simply not possible. Plex is very much album-oriented. There are no tracks without album.

So plex music is useless for great amount of people, how is it even possible there is no such basic function?
I will be glad to see it in new update.

Maybe I should create album for each song, so all of them will have individual cover, and then I would use “All Music” category. I think this is doable. How should I manage my files? I tried to put each song in folder whose name is the same as song title, but it did not work.

If you really want to do it that way, you also need to adapt the embedded meta tag for “Album Title”.

So there is no option to manage your music library by folders?
I could write a program which would group all of my flacs into folders with the same title, but embedding data is a different story. I have almost 1k ripped songs, it is impossible to embed data for each one manually. Is anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? Should I wait for update from plex creators?

This can be automated. mp3tag can convert file names to meta tags and vice versa.
