Hm, might need to make it configurable @KraXen72. Unsure, since that would require some additional logic.

you could also just have it to that a song in a playlist view has 'use as cover' in the long-press menu, and then add a 'reset cover' option to the playlist three-dot menu.
default cover is a mosaic, and ppl who don't like it can pick the song they want to use as a cover. if the song gets removed or changes or whatever, just fall back to the mosaic.

@KraXen72 I was the one who requested this. My issue is that I follow an artist that sometimes makes additional art "covers" per song, but there is technically still a "main" cover, used on the first song. Most music apps follow this trend but Auxio uses a mosaic, personally I just like the main cover to be used. Not a dealbreaker if this isn't fixed, I'm probably the only one who's ever cared enough to ask, but I find it makes a little less sense for an album and looks a bit weird.

It seems like maybe the best compromise would be to keep the functionality for playlists, but in an album, force the first song's art to be the cover?

oh, sure, i agree to disable it for albums. i didn't think of that since all my albums have <4 covers, so the mosaic never gets created. i just think it looks neat for artists, playlists and genres

This is just localized to album artist @KraXen72. Other items will have mosaics.

Was discussed a little here, too.
