Dear BluOS development team, it is 2021 now. Can we please get rid of the *stupid* 600kb limit for artwork? I am pretty sure the LCD on my NAD M10 player has a higher resolution and so has my cell phone. There is no technical reason why the artwork could not be at least 1000x1000 pixels.

Thanks, David.

  It’s probably related to ensure their first generation products from 2013 and probably developed a few years prior are still compatible.

  Edit… rich artwork can be had using Roon as this offloads everything to a dedicated server.

  The artwork optimization is possible only for network devices like a NAS which will be indexed. But for USB sticks the limitation of 600 kB is still valid. So following first comment this is still annoying at least for albums on a USB stick.
