Changes will get included as you navigate through lists, or to force a complete refresh you can fully exit and restart the Poweramp app. You can edit or create these JPG files if you wish, but make sure the naming convention remains precisely as Poweramp defined it. The easiest way to see how it works is to look at existing items in these folders. jpg - with most special characters (*, $, %, &,, brackets, etc) replaced with underscores. The actual filename used for each entry will match with the tagged information held in PA's song database - such as.

Genre_artor selected_genre for genre images used in Genres category. Poweramp just happens to be a lot more robust (in my opinion) for playing local audio on an Android device than most, so it's worth the couple of bucks to buy the full version. The 'selected_' folder names are used for images that you manually chose, which will override any automated downloads:Īlbum_artor selected_aafor album covers as used in album/song lists, and on the player screen.Īrtist_art or selected_artist for artist images used in the Artists category.Ĭomposer_art or selected_composer for composer images used in the Composers category. Whichever of these two base locations is being used on your device, you will find several subfolders for various different types of saved artwork. If PA was first installed that way, that folder will most likely still remain in use currently - even if you have updated your Android ROM and/or Poweramp version.įor newer versions of Android (11+) and recent builds of Poweramp, changes in the Android system requirements mean newly installed apps have to use a single specific internal storage folder for data, which in Poweramp's case means cover artwork can now be found in: Android/data//files/ (no underscore). If you don't happen to like a picture it finds you can manually select your own image by long-pressing on the song title (or on the album cover area in the player screen) and choosing 'Album Art'.įor older versions of Android (prior to Android 10/11) Poweramp uses a custom location on internal device storage for saving these image files: Android/data/_/ (note the underscore in '_com'). This feature can be enabled and configured via the options in PA Settings > Album Art. However if embedded artwork is not found, Poweramp can automatically search online for matching images.
This is something you need to do outside of Poweramp though, using tag editing software. That way the correct image is always part of the song file, and will remain with it wherever you use that audio file.
