I want to be REALLY clear here, that cover art works just fine in SLX in
most contexts. The cover art of all albums appears when I'm browsing, by
artist, by album, whatever. When I'm playing a track, I can click the
small art in the playback bar, and it enlarges to a much larger size. 
What I want to be able to do is expand that artwork on tracks that are
NOT the currently playing track.

My files are all .m4a (ALAC) files, with artwork embedded in the file.
There are NO folder.jpg files, nor any 'artwork' folders.

This works fine in the LMS client and in OrangeSqueze (Android). The
feature doesn't appear to be there in SLX.

Okay, I've removed 'Music Information Screen', as it's apparently not
needed for this purpose. I have 'Music and Artist Information' turned on
- not sure why, though, as the purpose here seems to grab a variety of
artwork and metadata from the internet. I don't need that, as I already
have artwork embedded for all albums within the individual files.

Also, I've had 'Show Artwork' enabled from the get-go. The 'Show
Artwork' option is still not showing up in the SLX Context menu, nor
under 'More'.

To be clear, this is only an issue with SLX, not LMS. I use other
clients (admittedly, Android) with a 'Show Artwork' option, and that
works as expected - just not there in SLX.

Thanks -

slartibartfast, thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't appear to
address what I'm looking for. I didn't see a 'Music and Information'
plugin in the third party plugins,  but found 'Music Information Screen'
and 'Music and Artist Information' plugins. I've added each separately
(and later both), completely restarting LMS and SLX after each change.
I'm still not seeing a 'Show Artwork' option under the context menu,
more.

The 'Music and Artist Information' plugin seems to add a lot of new info
(artist artwork, lyrics), but I already have album artwork embedded in
my files, and don't use artist artwork (which like most internet-based
metadata is rubbish).

Have I missed something?  Either way, thanks again for the help and
suggestions.

Apparently not. I just updated SLX earlier today, and there's no 'Local
Artwork' option there.

Thanks, Greg, but this is what I meant by 'beyond the currently playing
track'. I'd like to able to view the artwork on tracks -other than- the
'now playing' track. Hope this clarifies. For point of reference, the
OrangeSqueeze app on Android offers a 'Show Artwork' option on every
track.

Cheers!

Rich

Hi Greg -

Just wondering if there's an option to show (large) artwork beyond the
currently playing track? I might have missed this, but checked the
'hamburger' menu (three vertical dots), and didn't see it, even under
'More'. If it's not there, and if it's compatible with Material Skin,
might this be added in a future release? It would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!  I love Squeezelite-X and use it as my primary player
on Windows.

Rich
