superluig164 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I have songs which have their own individual track art, as well as different art for the whole album. When I change the album cover image, I don't want all the tracks to lose their unique art (unless they don't have art tagged), instead I want the album art to be shown in the album view, but the track art shown on the individual tracks. Why can't Poweramp keep these separate? I didn't even realize this was an issue until recently, because it works fine until you try to change one of the song's album art, then suddenly they all change for no reason.

andrewilley Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Agreed. I just tried this, and changing album artwork by long-pressing on the title in the Albums list and then selecting 'Image' causes the album-level artwork to change as expected, but also the first track in the album songs list too - even though all tracks have their own embedded artwork anyway. I suggested a while back that it would be nice if the Cover Art download/selection dialogue could include an extra tickbox option to control this functionality. Something like "Apply selection to other songs in the same Album too?" would handle it nicely. Andre Quote Translate Revert translation?

superluig164 Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 Considering such a checkbox already exists for the Artist image, I don't see why it can't work the same way for albums.

Absinthequ Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) It seems like maxmp started this but didn't finish because you can manually make this work by placing the cover in: Android/data/_com.maxmpz.audioplayer/album_art Using this naming sequence : Artist - Album title.jpg I have hundreds of files in there. i have albums that i only have a placeholder when in album view, and the actual artwork for every single song of the album is completely different. The only snag is some characters don't work and need replaced, like ()/',!&$. An odd example: (Tom's) Crazy - Album: One! needs to become _Tom_s_ Crazy - Album_ One_.jpg Edited February 20, 2021 by Absinthequ Quote Translate Revert translation?

superluig164 Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 Interesting. Sounds like all he needs to do is put it in the UI. Max!!! Quote Translate Revert translation?

Absinthequ Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 BTW. V2 used to show the folder.jpg as this placeholder (just like folder view does now). It would be really awesome if that was brought back. Quote Translate Revert translation?

andrewilley Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 folder.jpg has nothing to do with the grouping concept of an 'Album'. Even if you do happen to have all of the songs from one album in its own folder, PA can't expect of know that to be the case. You can manually edit/replace the downloaded & cached images though, they are in device storage folder /Android/data/_com.maxmpz.audioplayer/ in sub-folders such as album_art, selected_aa, etc. I do agree that a broader and longer term solution might be to add an extra option to the Cover Art download/selection dialogue to control this functionality though - such as a tickbox labelled "Apply selection to all songs in the same Album?".

Absinthequ Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I know it doesn't work like this in v3, but in v2 this worked. Any song that was in the same folder as folder.jpg would have a placeholder in any album list. It didn't matter the album title because it wasn't attached to tags. It also wouldn't show in a song list or when playing the songs, it only showed as an album list cover, no matter the tags. I still have v2 on my other phone and it works.

Taylor Hobbs Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 gotta necro this thread, I just added NIN's The Slip to my player, and tried to add the album art to the album folder, ended up overwriting all the individual artworks for each song, which did actually previously show in Poweramp. Now, no matter which cache/rescan/delete/readd process I try all songs on that album can only ever show the same artwork. I didn't think this would ruin that for me, and that kinda stinks. I have a few other albums with individual artworks and seeing as it worked when I initially added The Slip it seems like a pretty big oversight. Would love if there was a way to go back.

andrewilley Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 @Taylor Hobbs If you provide album art, that will override individual song covers. If that's come from an in-folder image you should just be able to delete the file and possibly then do a Full Rescan. If it's been downloaded, you can find and remove the cached file from the data folder: Andre Quote Translate Revert translation?
