When selecting album art across all platforms, it’s impossible to judge the quality from the thumbnail preview. It would be beneficial to add the option for larger preview images, file size information, and/or image dimensions to the selection window. I’ve often updated artwork thinking I’d selected a good quality image only to find it looking pixelated when playing back the album on a larger screen.

A request for the same feature exists already, and it has more votes.

> [feature-request-poster-hover] My library includes quite a few “posters” (album cover art). Often the scanners select a very low version as shown in the screenshot (Ideally, there would be an option to set the minimum quality – but that isn’t what this request is). When manually correcting the scanner’s choice, it would be nice to know the resolution of each image so I can choose the best. Currently, there is no way to tell from the selection which will be the best on a high-resolution device. …

Therefore this one is closed, to prevent spreading the votes across several threads, even though they vote for the same (or at least very similar thing).

Votes are given back to the users who voted on this request. Please think of re-voting in the other thread if you still want it.
