Thumbnails for the folders and tracks on my music share

[1984]

Just got this set up today. Really like it, but I would like to have thumbnails on my files or at least the folders. Scrolling through pages of black and white generic folders or not optimal. Every folder has a jpeg image of the album cover in it. Works in Volumio.

Do I need to name the jpeg file something in particular for it to be seen?

Should I use a server and if so which one? Tried Plex briefly, but it started wanting me to create accounts.
Is there a simple free server for Windows that I can point to my files and have it be seen by the Wiim app?
I like just pointing the Wiim to my Windows network share, but I would be willing to use a server if that would give me cover art.

Welcome.

Try minimserver on the pc.
The free version seems to be more than adequate for most users.

Also worth using something like mp3tag to manage the tags on your music files.
Despite the name, works with more than just mp3 files.
