So when folder.jpg is not found, it will look for the alternative filename. Since there is only 1 alternative filename, there is no "syntax" issue. User can use whatever valid filename or use wildcard to find the first matched file.

I've been doing some web searching and it seems there are a few other naming conventions for album/cover art files:

Winamp: [album].jpg
dbPoweramp: [filename].jpg, [album].jpg
Android: AlbumArt*.jpg
some MP3 players: [filename].jpg

Having seen all this, I think I need to add more flexibility to MinimServer, including the ability to have per-track art files as well per-album art files.

I could do this either by adding an albumArt property with a pattern-matching language (hopefully not too obscure), or by building the common patterns into MinimServer's default algorithm.

At the moment I'm inclined to do the latter because I think this will be simpler for users. So as the first step down that path, I'll add support in the next release for cover.jpg and cover.png if there's no folder.jpg or folder.png file.
