Album covers in Foobar 2.24 (x64). Is this possible?

Hello everyone!
Is there a way to display album covers in the album list (not just text lines)?
For example, how is it done in MediaMonkey (pls see att. p1.png)?
I am using the latest version of Foobar2000 v.2.24 (x64), but I found that most components are not supported in it ((
Thanks!

With JS components. Replace default Album List with one or more Library Tree scripts in JSplitter panel.

(Your foobar screenshot above should be showing art when you select or play something though. If not, make sure to setup external art locations in File > Preferences > Display > Front Cover tab)

Right now it shows the cover when I select an album. That's fine. But I would like the album list to be displayed like in MediaMonkey. Will it be possible with the JS components?

If you haven't seen it: you can also simply display thumbnails of the covers in the playlist just like that, without any additional components.

(I don't use JS to display my album list and playlist. I suppose you can do more advanced things with it, but I can't really say more.)

Are these Columns UI?
Could you please write in more detail how I can do this? Is this a playlist or track list?

Album list is a simple text-based media library viewer. You can easily achieve what you're after with 3rd party components, see this thread for something similar:

No, this is Default UI. (but Columns UI can also display playlists in a similar way)

This is a playlist  (a "Playlist View" element, to be precise)
I don't know what you mean by "track list", if it's not a playlist.

Tracks are grouped by album:
Right-click on column titles > Groups > By artist/date/album

To display the album cover in the playlist (as in my previous message):
Right-click on column titles > Columns > Album cover

Compared to your screenshot, I've also added a column to display the track number:
Right-click on column titles > Columns > Track no

Move and resize the columns as you like.

Oh my god, this is what I was looking for! It looks amazing.
I've got it set up to my liking.

But how do I get it to group tracks by album?

Mp3Tag shows me that all the tracks in the album have the album name, i.e. they are grouped. But in the browser they are not grouped. Could you help me?

On the contrary, I'd like to ask, "How can I split albums into tracks?"
It should be split by album by default. Please review your Artist, Album Artist tags.
Please embed images by album.

Please read again.

Standard tagging practice is to have ALBUM ARTIST tag with the same value for each track on compilation albums.

ALBUM ARTIST = Various Artists

Thank you very much for the advice. I have opened album folder in Mp3tag and set  ALBUM ARTIST - VA for some files without specifying it. Now they are grouping. I am happy :)) ;D  ;D  ;D

I just wanted to share my theme. I set it up for myself for СarPС. I have a touchscreen in portrait mode. Hope this theme will be useful to someone.
Thanks again guys!
