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

Go to the top of the page and read what it says. "Solved". So, no reason to report any issues under this thread.

This is a Spotify issue, as other music services work just fine (Apple, Amazon).  How is there no fixes after over 2 years?

Apparently it was easier to bring us the MIX feature and Lossless codec, but the album cover art is just not important enough to resolve. Its not end of the world stuff, but it is a slap in the face to the faithful customers. Coverart works on Apple Music, it works on Youtube Music and even Prime has cover art...come on Spotify just fix it and be the hero. 

Because this issue is marked as "Solved". Guys, stop reporting issues under this thread. No dev is reading this. Go open another one.
