Album cover not showing in local files not appearing

Album cover not showing in local files not appearing

I have been adding some music I bought from Bandcamp into my Spotify library through the local files option in the desktop app, so I have also been adding the proper metadata so it looks pretty and organized, but I can't see the album covers I put on the songs. Is there any way to fix that?

Hey @Luingear!

 

Currently, Spotify will display the album covers for files that are in .mp3 format. If you downloaded your tracks in .flac or .wav, the app will play them, but it won't display the artwork as it's unable to pull up this information from the file's metadata.

 

If this is something you'd like to see on Spotify, you can submit an idea about it on our Idea Exchange board here. Others can then add their votes and comments to show their support.

 

Here are a couple of existing ideas which you may find interesting, so feel free to check them out:

Cheers!
