[Desktop][Other] Option to maximize album cover in fullscreen

Submitted by on ‎2021-03-31 06:56 PM
Status: Live Idea

I suspect this was an oversight in the latest update, but the album cover is now tiny in full-screen mode, making room for the background on the artist's profile instead. There seems to be no way to maximize the album cover, which I'd rather be looking at. I'd like that option back!

I like how Spotify has expanded the image to take the whole screen, but this should be the album art. Another reason in addition to everything already mentioned is - everybody has a favourite band that has changed members after their most loved albums went out and it's pretty stupid to look at the current lineup while listening to old albums. Original artwork FTW!

Please display a huge image of the album we're listening to when the desktop version is full screen mode, maybe even show the back-side of the record, make sense?  Hope so, let me know if you have any questions, thanks.

Writing a comment to raise visibility, absolutely nuts that an artist lineup is shown for all of their albums and not the album art as big as it could possibly be on the screen. I understand that there might be album art file size constraints but removing the art completely is unacceptable.

If you have any mates or something that you could link this to who owe you a beer or something to give this a vote would really appreciate it. Spotify doesn't seem to care too much

And just like that fullscreen mode became useless to me. Please revert it back.

Im sorry, where was the vote to get rid of full screen album art? Spotify just does whatever it wants and then expects us to vote features back?  Did we vote to get rid of album art? Perhaps you should stop improving what you think needs to be improved and leave well enough alone unless it's a problem.
