How do you get album covers for m4a audio files to show?

The albums I have in m4a files will not display their album cover in the media app. Mp3 files shows album cover fine. How do I get the album cover to appear?

This is ongoing and as per a post from last year; https://together.jolla.com/question/41330/media-application-should-show-album-covers-from-m4a-files/ - this is still not resolved.
However, I found 1 album on my PC in .m4a format. Only 1 track appeared to have album art, the first track, but it wouldn't show the cover art once on my device. Eventually, I used MP3Tag and retagged the whole album, fed it back to the device, scanned for new music and now it shows album art.
Link for MP3Tag if you require it - http://www.mp3tag.de/en/download.html
What a load of mucking about eh!, but it works :)

Although there seems to be a solution available (below), that one needs to include the cover into every audio file, if I got it right. However, I would prefer to have the cover in a folder.jpg file in the folder of the album. This is the way I do it with all my mp3 albums and it works just fine. I'd like to avoid retagging all (m4a) albums or having two different systems, folder.jpg for mp3 and tags for m4a.
