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.

Just tried this on an iPad Pro.

Amazon Music and Apple Music had good resolution. Spotify bad resolution.

Screenshots larger than the 5MB maximum allowed here so can’t post.

Actually, on Amazon Music, the HD version of the song (Antiseed) has good artwork resolution, the Ultra HD version bad resolution.

      There’s not a huge difference between Amazon & Deezer display on the iPad, so maybe it’s how the music services choose to deliver their artwork to the type of controller device, perhaps?

          New firmware update. 

          Sometimes the cover is clean.

          Sometimes not. 

          Better.
