do not show Album Artwork on Lock Screen

[megapulk]

Spotify shows always the album artwork to the current track on my lock screen. Can I somehow turn it of? I want to keep my usual android lockscreen.

There is no easy way to disable this I'm afraid, it's actually part of Android and was a feature introduced in KitKat.

You might be able to find a lock screen app in the Play Store to use which would allow you to not have the artwork displayed.

I have the opposite problem - my phone doesn't show the album artwork at all, and the widget on the lockscreen (for skipping songs etc) stays on the first song I play, doesn't update to new songs, any ideas on a fix?

I use a podcast app which has the option to disable showing album art on the lockscreen while playing audio -- surely a product like Spotify, with a bigger dev team, could handle it.  The podcast player is called Podcast Republic if they want to ask them how they did it.

I use the "Block" Feature but when I open an app that has sound it shuts off, is there any way to fix this?
