+Artwork
+-------
+
+`mpd` does not provide any information where it finds its music files. To make
+`mpd-notification` display album artwork you need to tell it where to look for
+artwork. You can do that by exporting `XDG_MUSIC_DIR` to your environment or by
+specifying `-m` or `--music-dir` on the command line. The image file containing
+the artwork needs to be place in the same directory as the media file and named
+`cover.jpg`, `cover.png`, `folder.jpg` or `folder.png`.
