Thank you very much for having such a tool. It has been a great help to me. However, if I only want to download the cover image, how should I set it up? Or is it currently not possible to download only the cover image? I've checked the README and used the -h command, but I couldn't find any relevant information. I'm not sure if I missed it. I usually use Docker to start the tool.

Unfortunately this is not currently supported behaviour.

The primary utility for this tool is music downloads. The album art is complimentary.

Although it may be a feature we could add, but I personally don't see the need to have a tool to do just that.

You could just manually download it off the internet.

No problem, my usage scenario involves downloading a large number of album cover images and then creating a presentation with them, including animations like flipping, rotating, zooming, and scaling, just for fun. Later on, I might consider forking your repository and making some modifications. Thank you for your response.

Gotcha. Hey, y'know what.. I'll have a think about this.

I had already been thinking about adding a --dry-run flag to freyr that just ensures "we can run a command without any errors" in the case of freyr "ensure we can download tracks from X query without any errors"

Since the ability to download just images would be useful, and since we already have -C, --no-cover, we could add one to match for tracks.

And then --dry-run would be an alias for --no-cover --no-track.

It's sounds great, thank you
