Music services offer the Sonos app multiple resolutions, and the app decides on one dependent on the device and where the art is to be displayed. In this case Amazon are erroneously delivering a lower quality bitmap for the Now Playing screen. Not a Sonos issue.

Can you post a screenshot so we can see an example of what you are seeing?

It seems to be okay on an iPad controller… might it be the device you’re using, or perhaps the connection and that Amazon reduces the artwork quality to cater both for the device and available bandwidth, perhaps?

    I do see the difference. Is there an image quality difference when you compare all album covers or just this specific album cover?

      Well it’s quite obviously not the Sonos App display - it must be the image resolution that Amazon have decided to use for their artwork. The covers look okay (to me, at least) on the iPad. It’s not something I take too much notice of to be truthful, as my display is not left showing once I have started playback of the queue. I assume you might need to canvass Amazon on the matter, as it’s their data.

      They told me to ask to sonos. 

      Tomorrow maybe. 

      Important for me. 

      Yes maybe the Amazon covers are too heavy.
