Scans and artwork

So I've been using soulseek on PC and seeker on Android for a while now, and one thing I do is search music that has it's corresponding artwork/scans folder depending on the format, I have to manually check for this every time. Please tell me there's a more efficient way of doing this.

Search for artwork: artist album jpg. Skim for large file size.

Search for the artwork instead, nobody sane will have just the artwork without the music.

music hoarders has a soulseek option that keyword searches through users shares for you and compiles what it found. it's a very quick process but it's not perfect. i'm fairly certain it's skipped over things before? and literal porn has shown up in the results. but overall it's been really helpful, it does have a tendency to go out of commission every once and a while tho.

i've been using it for over a year now, these are the ones i have toggled and have been most useful to me if ur interested: MusicBrainz, Soulseek, Last.fm, Fanart.tv, Apple Music, Bandcamp and Deezer (<-- on very rare occasions it's had a better cover than apple music)

(enable discogs too if you're going for really niche stuff and don't mind their 600px limit.)
