How Does T2 control Album Covers?
I'm wondering how album covers are controlled?
I connect a mains powered external hdd via usb to my T2.
I use BubbleUPnP to control playback.
For example, I have an album in a folder, I don't embed the album cover into each track, I just have a single .jpg which each track then shows.
Is this how Lumin designed it to work or is it BubbleUPnP that is doing this?
Concerning the quality of the album cover: I'm currently sorting out the metadata for all my albums (yes, it's going to take some time to do) and I have been adding a good quality album cover, usually 1500x1500 (no higher).
My thinking is that if I do change my streamer in the future, one that has a big screen to show album covers, I want the best quality on view.
Am I wasting my time using a high quality album cover? How big would the screen have to be to notice the difference between a 1500x1500 or 600x600 size?Boenicke Audio W11 Speakers with SwingBase; MFA Baby Reference V2 Passive Preamp; Lumin T2; Nord One SE UP NC500DM Stereo; SRM Arezzo Turntable; Ortofon 2M Blue; Michael Fidler MM Pro; 2 x REL S/510; Van Damme Blue series/Mark Grant

If you use MinimServer, the simplest thing is to have a folder.jpg
If you use a different UPnP server, you'll need to check its documentation.
Lumin app has a full screen album art mode. The largest (or highest dpi) iOS devices have a long edge of nearly 2800 pixels. You can even use a Mac M1 / M2 to connect to a 4K TV or monitor.Peter Lie

No, I don't use MinimServer.
I play tracks directly off my external hdd.
I have a playlist of close to 2000 tracks.
BubbleUPnP downsizes the quality of the cover, if it didn't memory would be completely full and cause playback issues.
How does the Lumin app control a large number of tracks with large dpi covers?Boenicke Audio W11 Speakers with SwingBase; MFA Baby Reference V2 Passive Preamp; Lumin T2; Nord One SE UP NC500DM Stereo; SRM Arezzo Turntable; Ortofon 2M Blue; Michael Fidler MM Pro; 2 x REL S/510; Van Damme Blue series/Mark Grant

Don't know if this helps - LUMIN USB Storage
"For convenience, LUMIN includes an internal USB Music Server to allow playback of music directly from attached USB storage.
This is mainly intended for easily playing music from friends, or in demonstration environments.
Due to extra reliability, browsing flexibility and proven compatibility, our recommended Music Server setup is LUMIN L1, a NAS (Network Attached Storage) running MinimServer or a computer running MinimServer, but many users have successfully used USB as their primary storage."
"Browsing of USB storage is limited to simple Folder Browsing where you can navigate through your folder structure on the drive. All folders are visible (even if they don't contain music) and artwork thumbnails for folders will be the first embedded artwork found directly in the folder."
That's why Lumin recommends MinimserverMain System - Lumin U2, Modwright LS36.5 DM Preamp, VTV Purifi 1ET-7040SA with tube buffer, EMM Labs DAC 2X (ver. 2), Torus RM-20, Thiel CS 3.7s, 2 Rel S/812 subs

For USB drive album art, it's also best to have a folder.jpg
