Apostrophes Cause Issues with Imported Song Album Art

Apostrophes Cause Issues with Imported Song Album Art

Plan

Premium

 

Spotify Version

1.1.10.546.ge08ef575

 

Operating System

Arch Linux

 

Problem:

If imported songs have filenames that include one or more apostrophes, album art will not be displayed when the song is selected/playing. Instead, it will display the album art of the previous song that was playing before it.

 

Apostrophes in the tags/description of the songs don't seem to have any bearing on this. Apostrophes in filenames don't appear to have any effect on any other feature within Spotify.

 

Workaround:

Remove all apostrophes from filenames. Afterwards, Spotify will correctly display the album art associated with the song.
