Album Art over Bluetooth - there must be a way


Recommended Posts

I am getting a new car tomorrow. I began tagging my music over a decade ago in preparation for a car with a screen that can display it. I was going to buy a head unit for my old car, then I had my old car for a decade, and after it got crashed into I had my rental car - which is where I realized Poweramp cannot yet send album art over bluetooth. But so many other things can! There has to be a way to do it. My new car has a big album art area and I don't want it to be blank when I'm playing music. I also don't want to have to find a new music player, but I've been waiting over a decade to just have the album art on my car dash while driving. Is there anything we can do or a place we can ask, something to unlock the secret of how to send album art over Bluetooth?

When I get my car I'll do lots of tests with it. This is something I really want. I am trying to manifest it by speaking it into existence.

Almost all new cars these days support Android Auto, which is generally the best way to connect a phone to the head-unit.

PA can send album art by Bluetooth by the way, but it's very dependent on the device, Android version, BT version, and destination device.

I got the new car and PA sends the album art over no problem. I feel silly for posting this. I do not know why it did not send to my rental but it's not an issue anymore.

Glad it's working for you. Sending album art by Bluetooth is often not so much of a science but more a black magical art that requires the right totems and incantations. :)
