[Desktop][Other] Full-size album artwork

[HellishAbyss]

Musicians put in a lot of effort to their album artwork, so it's a shame that on our desktop devices with nice screens we can't see then in higher resolution than a handful of hundred pixels square. See attachement for a proposed screen – click on a piece of album art while in album view (currently this does nothing) and see it expanded to the size of the spotify window.

This should be the default option! It only makes sense, it would be nice if there's an option that it would flip to show the back of the original album covers also to see full credits and song list. It's like being in an actual record store virtually!

They should also allow all album covers to be higher quality. For example, all album art on Apple Music is crisp and high quality.

I would like the option that when spotify is in use that my desktop background would be the album art of what I am listening to.  When I am done listening my original desktop wallpaper would be returned.

I would like to click the art & it takes you to liner notes of the album.

Desktop full screen mode should give the option to use the highest res image of the album art available as the full screen image instead of the artist image.

[nizzon]

Yes, make it an option in fullscreen mode too. I dont want to see the band when I choose fullscreen, I want to see the artworks.

Also, we users must be able to right-click the album art and save it on our computer files so that we can have images to upload on iTunes or Windows Media Player.  There's this website that provides album cover images of 1,200 by 1,200 pixels, but since 2020 that site has been posing a virus threat.  That's why Spotify needs to show big, super-sharp pictures of album covers.  Like somebody said here, we also like to see the back design if we don't own the album physically.

FULLSCREEN/FULL(ISH)APP DISPLAY FOR"now playing" ALBUM ART!!!!!! and maybe DISPLAY "now playing" ALBUM ART WHILE SCREEN SAVER ACTIVE!!!!!
(It doesnt do it on desktop)

On mobile, when I'm on an album page, I want to be able to click on the album art and when I do, the artwork turns full screen and I can zoom and pan with my fingers so that I can fully appreciate the artwork and add another layer to the experience.
