Cover picture

[DrewsR]

Overview

i have a directory with many audio book mp3 files of a series, e.g. "die drei Fragezeichen". every mp3 file has its own cover picture. But the app displays always only the cover picture of the first file. i would expect, that always the cover is loaded when a new file is being played.

How to reproduce

open the app see the covers pictures

Version

6.1.2

Android Version

12

Device Model

Samsung Galaxy tab a7

every mp3 file has its own cover picture.

So, if there are 31 MP3 files, there are 31 *.png files?

Could you please post an example of how the files look like? For example, a screenshot of the folder content, showing the files. It's important, how the files are named.

As you can See by Screenshot 1, 2 & 3 Voice is currently playing "Folge 063

• Monster-Wolken". But it is displaying the cover of the first mp3 file in this directory "Fußballhelden".

The covers (jpeg) are integrated via ID3Tag into the mp3-files. You can see this by Screenshot 4 & 5.

I think, you need to add the screenshot via Github.

@DrewsR You used the same Album Tag for the entire "Drei Fragezeichen Kids" Collection. An Album is intended to have only one cover, so usually a player takes the cover from the first Title and applies it to all. The album Tag is to be used when you have one Episode, e.g. "Fußballhelden" with seperate chapters (different Title Tags), then you use the Album Tag "Fußballhelden" so it merges the mp3 files with the same Album Tag to one logic episode. Like one CD with different tracks. What you trying to do is seperating different Collections (Drei ???, Star Wars etc.) by using Albums, which is not correct. You need a function merging multiple Episodes (which can be individual Albums) to a Collection, which is not possible in Voice.

Thanks for your idea. Though I think showing distinct covers is not the right solution here. I think in the long term we should rather allow for a way to really support this kind of series. Right now, the concept is rather: Every item is one book. And books conceptually only have one cover.
