Spotify Album Art Stuck
Just as of the past week or so I've noticed the spotify album art getting stuck on the first song played. I checked the app for updates and looks like everything is good. Maybe my X5 software needs to be updated??? Anybody else run into this?

Yeah I should have stated I'm using the iphone 7 as my platform. The weird part is it worked perfectly up until about 2 weeks ago. So what prompted the change?

I noticed this too. At least the controls still work, just annoying to not see the current song playing.

I have the same issue running SiriusXM thru my iPhone. Sometimes I get the artwork, sometimes I don't and sometimes it freezes on the first song's artwork, sometimes it works properly. It appears to a timing matter when I select Media for radio input and when I activate SXM. I haven't played with it enough to sort out the exact timing required.
The SXM reception on my X5 is so terrible I don't use it and resort to getting SXM thru my phone. |

Update:
Samsung note 10: Album name and details it shows immediately and the connection is super stable. Wifes iPhone Pro Max: Album name shows after a few seconds, then after a few more, it shows Album Art (correct one), the connection is not stable always. I updated the software to the latest version. |

I would go to BMW software website and update your idrive. Mine was not up to date. You just copy the upgrade file to a usb stick. I did this to my 2015 and everything went fine.

Annoying but at least it updates, and does not say unknown artist have the time. |

iPhone user here too and both Spotify and Pandora artwork would stay frozen on the first track played. Controller and steering wheel controls worked normally. Updated the software and it resolved the issue. Make sure the phone apps are up to date first.
Here’s a video showing what the issue is and how to do the update. I ended up getting the BimmerTech MMI Prime which is awesome. |

I remember stumbling upon similar issues with Spotify album art a few years ago. Sometimes the tech in cars doesn't sync well with app updates or vice versa. It's totally possible that your X5 software might need an update or it might be a temporary glitch on Spotify's end. Maybe trying a soft reset or re-pairing the device could help?
On another note, if you're ever looking to boost your Spotify tracks or playlists, you might want to buy spotify plays usa. Found it useful for a friend who's an emerging artist. It could be of interest if you're into music production or promotion. Last edited by DrakeHeyman; 08-02-2023 at 04:33 AM.. |
