Art work still messed up.

Answered
Nico

I have a folder on a USB stick with tracks from different artists and corresponding art work for each track. Some tracks are from the same artist but different albums so each track has its own embedded artwork but the Android controller only shows the artwork from the first track for all subsequent tracks from the same artist. Obviously this is not how it should be. Will this ever be fixed because it's been going on since the first 4XXX release. Oh, and this problem doesn't exist on the Windows controller.

    Hi Nico

    This is not a problem since 4.x's release. This is how BluOS has worked since BluOS 1.20.1. If all the tracks are in the same folder, that is an indication they are likely form the same album. If the Album tag is blank, it definitely is the same album. BluOS will then take the artwork from the first file if no folder.jpg or cover.jpg file is in the folder.

    As Album artwork is the largest tag, often accounting for as much as 80-90% of the metadata, only 1 artwork per album, not per track is stored to allow for larger catalogues and avoid duplicate information in RAM.

    The Windows controller doesn't behave the same way.
