My Question or Issue

For some reason, during the past few weeks, only local files that were albums I either downloaded from bandcamp or burned onto my MacBook from CDs are no longer displaying cover art. Does anyone know what this is about? They're MP3 files and for the same band. One of these releases had worked fine and had cover art for 2 years prior, but the art just up and disappeared recently.

Hey @Alternative_Indie

 

That seems odd but don't worry. I'm here to help. Sometimes, reimporting local files into Spotify can refresh the app's database and resolve album art display issues. Remove the affected files from your Spotify library, then re-add them by following these steps:

 

  1. In Spotify, go to "Settings" > "Library"
  2. Toggle off "Show Local Files" to hide your local files.
  3. Close and reopen Spotify.
  4. Toggle on "Show Local Files" to display your local files again.
  5. Re-add the affected files to your Spotify library by selecting them from your local files directory.

Hope this helps!
