Allow users to set a custom animated cover

Feature description:

I would like the option for users to set their own animated cover (for example a short looping video or motion image) for their music files

Problem solved:

Some users like to personalize their library with dynamic visuals instead of static images, and currently there is no way to do that inside the app.

Brought benefits:

Animated cover art adds more personality and immersion while browsing or playing music. It makes the library feel more dynamic and visually engaging.

This feature would improve customization without forcing a fixed animation style, since the user provides their own video.

Other application solutions:

 
Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, etc have Canvas.

This would be amazing to add even adding the option for animated artists headers I found a website by Ben dotson where what ever you past on apple like a artist for instance you can get the loop video that apple has for the artist header and also album art animations for songs and what’s nice it pulls directly from apple so you can get the raw uncompressed versions before apple compresses it before streaming
