My Question or Issue
Mobile connected via Bluetooth (not android auto with cable, only Bluetooth).
Music plays from Spotify. The title and the artwork cover in the first track play well. In the next one, the title changes but the artwork cover remains the same as the previous one. On the 3rd track, you see title name change normally of the 3rd track but artwork cover of the 2nd. You move on to the next one and so on.
With another player everything works fine.
But since I'm very comfortable with Spotify, I'm struggling to make it work properly. I found some tips for changing the Bluetooth avrcp and battery optimization, but it's useless. The only thing I managed to do is not to show the artwork cover to any player by changing the Bluetooth avrcp but with the song titles changing correctly. In order to show the artwork cover it needs to have Bluetooth profile avrcp 1.6.
The infotainment of the car should not be to blame. It's most likely a Spotify bug after some update that I didn't hear about. It definitely has something to do with the Bluetooth avrcp profiles and how Spotify transfers the metadata to the car's infotainment.
In other players of my mobile the artwork cover changes normally. Like something sticks and stays in the artwork of the previous song while the next one is playing. It transfers the metadata, but laterally.
Is there any solution because it is very frustrating? I am very comfortable with Spotify and would not like to remove it.
Thanks in advance
Hey folks,
Thanks for all your replies and for the info shared.
We've gone ahead and passed your reports to the right team, and they're currently looking into this. However, we can't confirm when or if this will be fixed.
In that sense, we'd suggest you keep both the app and the car's receiver/unit up to date, so you won't miss any developments.
We'll be on the lookout!

Hello everyone,
Could you try the latest version 8.9.20 and tell me if anything changed or if the issue got resolved?
Hello,
Thanks for the answer. I tried it today. There is no more artwork cover at all, only the Bluetooth logo.
Thank you for your response. I was afraid this might be the case but didn’t have any means to verify it. Will try to address it.
Can confirm that. No more artwork covers at all since the 8.9.20 update.
Same for me: Up until the last Spotify app update yesterday/today, I always had wrong artwork cover being displayed via Bluetooth in my car (the last played song).
Now, with Spotify 8.9.20.574, I do not have any artwork at all in my car.
The cover which is displayed on my mobile has always been correct, and is still there.
I also tried setting BT AVRCP to 1.6 via developer options, without any change.
Same problem here. Have never had any problems with my car displaying album art over bluetooth but suddenly on March 9th, it's not working. It was working fine on March 8th! I've changed nothing equipment wise. Assuming spotify did some update that messed things up with album artwork displaying over Bluetooth. Fir the record, I've used some other apps on my phone to play Bluetooth audio and my car is displaying those fine. Clearly, it's a spotify issue. I've tried Uninstalling and reinstalling spotify but no luck.
Right, forgot about:
