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

[DanTheMan6]

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!

Absolutely, Tonza!  Spotify prides itself in being world class, the premiere steaming service and yet a simple matter of making their desktop app more responsive seems so elusive to the Spotify team, I know they have thousands of talented employees constantly improving their products, not sure how this could possibly fall through the cracks in their development process, seems like an obvious way to improve the artists and the users experience.

Imagine if artist could actually list the credits for their contributing musical collaborators, authors of each song along with the important front and back cover art, what a wonderful world they could create, what a wonderful and educational user experience Spotify could be.    

It's really about showing respect for their artists and the people that enjoy their products.  Let's hope Spotify doesn't just rest on their laurels as they become a larger and larger organization as so many companies have in the past.

Yes exactly, loveery! I would love a beautiful feature like that. I feel like Spotify has sooo much money that they should easily be able to implement these features to their system, as well as bringing the HiFi streaming for everyone with the current Premium subscription. They better bring back the HQ cover arts for albums and more too. It really bothers me the new update from earlier this year made the beautiful details in my favourite album covers go away and it made them blurry. I want to see all the lovely details, as an artist who also releases music on Spotify and more, I love to make detailed and colourful album, EP and single cover artworks! ❤️

I fully agree

I am actively thinking about canceling or downgrading my subscription due to this. The album art is half the music and everyone I know agrees fully. 

Please also revert it back on the TV apps. And ease make bigger as an option. Even of its going to be a bit blurry.

I found a limited workaround:

1. On a Mac, run Spotify, play the album

2. Have an Apple TV connected to a big TV and good sound system (like home theater)

3. Set the Mac's Sound Output to the Apple TV

4. Enjoy the decently sized album art

Good suggestion for those who have the Apple gear, thanks.

Bring back album art on full screen mode....

Honestly, the old look with the hideous grey background was atrocious as well. Spotify can do better. Apple Music's full-screen desktop view looks amazing 

[Frogzarecool]

Agreed.

Bring back full screen album cover using web app, i would rather see the album cover and not the artist profile picture
