We just wanted to let you know that the right folks are still looking into this.

Hey, @tonymahc 
Welcome to Spotify Community and thanks for reaching out here!

Is it happening with all your songs? Or just some songs from the same Artist or album?

 

Keep me posted!

I'm having the same issue. I thought that it was just the song that had the problem but when I play the entire album, the album artwork renders incomplete like the screenshot tonymahc posted.

Hey, @GenuineCucumber 
Welcome to Spotify Community and thanks for reaching out here!

As I've asked @tonymahc , this issue occurs just with an specific album/artist, or this is occurring with all your songs?

 

Keep me posted!

hi @hezorg, not all of my albums are affected so I say it's by random albums of different artists.

Luan

Hey again, @tonymahc 

I've checked here on my device if this issue occurs here, but everything is normal, so I recommend that you try a clean reinstallation again just to check if the issue is solved. Check out this article and follow the steps:

After that, check it again, and let me know if it works...

I've just noticed this happening as well, just after installing the latest update. Some albums are affected and others are fine.

Tried the clean installation, and even switching SD cards. but the issue is still happening.

 

It also started happening since last update.

Hey again, @tonymahc, @GCWright, @GenuineCucumber 

After checking it, I recommend that you take a look at this Spotify Answer and follow the tips presented there. One of the steps will ask you to remove the Spotify app and then install it again and I really ask you that you follow all those steps, because it is important. Also, is the issue persist let me know here because I'm getting some help to find a way to solve it.

 

Keep me posted!
