Anyone have problems like this recently? I had to re-copy and re-index everything recently. Now some albums don’t have artwork. The artwork shows up on my computer in Apple Music, shows up in finder on my SMB server, but does not show up in Sonos controller on iOS or on MacOS.

 Do you have tagging software like MP3 Tag?  Tagging software will show you if the music file has an album cover as part of the metadata.  Some systems look for a jpg/png album cover file in the album folder containing the music track files.  Some systems look for the album cover in the tag metadata.

I use Bliss - it might tell me. I’m pretty sure the albums in question are tagged internally, which I think is what Sonos actually uses. The stuff shows up fine in finder, apple music, etc…
