bug with album art when multiple albums in same directory

hi,

Neutron is unable to identify when a specific album has specific album art.
for example if you rip all your discs to disc images using EAC it places all the disc images in the same folder like so:

No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom.flac
No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom.jpg
No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom.log
No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom.cue
Kanye West - Graduation.flac
Kanye West - Graduation.jpg
Kanye West - Graduation.log
Kanye West - Graduation.cue
Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP.flac
Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP.jpg
Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP.log
Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP.cue

it will show either the Tragic Kingdom album art or Graduation album art or The Marshall Mathers LP album art for all sound files in the folder.

similarly I presume that if you were to move the contents of albums into a structure such as

album artist - album title - disc - track title - track number.mp3
album artist - album title - disc - track title - track number.jpg
album artist - album title - disc - track title - track number.log
album artist - album title - disc - track title - track number.mp3
album artist - album title - disc - track title - track number.jpg
album artist - album title - disc - track title - track number.log
album artist - album title - disc - track title - track number.wma
album artist - album title - disc - track title - track number.jpg
album artist - album title - disc - track title - track number.log
album artist - album title - disc - track title - track number.flac
album artist - album title - disc - track title - track number.jpg
album artist - album title - disc - track title - track number.log

it wouldn't work either. basically what Neutron does is it detects the first JPG in the folder as the album art for all the sound files in that folder rather than properly associating each JPG with it's associated sound files. this is because Neutron assumes each directory contains only one audio disc and one piece of album art per folder which is wrong, although Neutron can otherwise detect and playback each playlist and sound files and identify them as separate albums ok.
