Hey

 

I have a number of dance compilation albums by global underground which are WAV files stored on my Huwawai P30.  Using other media apps such as poweramp i see all the album art on my device, yet in the on this device section of Sonos i don't see any album art.

OK this isn't a first world problem, but a really frustrating one, as i have to sift through all the different albums one by one to locate the one i want to play.  when i select an album it opens the detail with artist and track list but again Minus the album art.

Anyone have any ideas if i can get round this.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe have solved my problem but without the album art.

By going into settings->Music Library->sort folders by->file name, and filter my library by artist rather than album (artist comes up as unknown) I can at least now see the album name and artist.

Not perfect but solves my problem

Thanks

Album cover smaller than 250kb in file size, 72dpi and around 800x800 should work fine.

I play music from Tidal to Sonos. Todal didn't my albums show up om the Sonos S1 app. They show up om my Tidal app, so I can play them from that app, but not from my Sonos S1 app. I don't understand why

WAV files are eccentric with metadata, to put it mildly.  If you converted to FLAC I suspect the album art issue could be resolved.
