The USB Music Library feature is now enhanced to allow you to customize the album artwork displayed in the WiiM Home app and on the device’s screen. 


This article walks you through the process to customize your album artwork and ensure it displays correctly.

1. Prepare the Album Artwork Image


Prepare an album artwork image that meets the following format and size requirements:

  • Supported formats: JPG /JPEG / PNG
  • Recommended size: 500×500 to 1500×1500 pixels
  • Recommended file size: under 1 MB for faster loading


2. Rename the Album Artwork Image


Rename the album artwork file using one of the supported file name prefixes below:

  • cover
  • folder
  • album
  • thumb
  • front
  • albumart
  • albumartsmall


For example, you can use a full file name such as cover.jpg, cover.jpeg, or cover.png, depending on your image format.


Files names are case-insensitive. For example, both cover.jpg and Cover.jpg file names are valid.


3. Place the Album Artwork Image in Album Folder


Place the album artwork image directly in the root of the album folder on your USB drive. Do not place it inside any subfolders. 


Make sure to place only one album artwork image in each album folder.


The example below shows how the album artwork image should be placed:
