1 month ago Since Android R (11), Phonograph Plus provides high quality artwork via MediaSession Metadata to System (before that version, it uses only Notification LargeIcon with limited size).
This is because vanilla AOSP use images from MediaSession since R (the improved Media Notification as a "new feature" when marketing[^nf]).
However, it looks that your device vendor makes some changes of the vanilla. It seems that:
- Your OS uses
MediaSessionMetadatawith high quality images. (Phonograph Plus do not provides high quality artwork before Android R) - Or your OS supports larger size for
NotificationLargeIcon(Phonograph Plus shrinks images if usingNotificationLargeIconfor compatibility)
Actually, this behavior is distinct from vanilla AOSP. I am not willing to modify Phonograph Plus for that. But, I may provide a option in settings for compatibility in future.

Bug Summary
Song's artwork in notification area is of low quality. I had similar problem with song's artwork in the app, but I have solved it by disabling "Android MediaStore" in image source configuration (per recommendations I have found in other reported issues). However this didn't solve the problem of low quality of notification area artwork.
