Lockscreen with fullscreen album art? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Is there a lock screen I can install which shows fullscreen album art when playing from Spotify? Actually I am looking for something like the Cyanogenmod lock screen which also had a nice graphic equalizer. I know that Good Lock from Samsung can show album art, but it also brings with it a lot of changes that I do not want.
Can someone tip me about a lock screen that does this? I suppose the CM lock with AudioFX equalizer is not possible

I know Google Music will show full album art when playing and the screen is locked but I'm not sure about it showing a graphic EQ on the lock screen.

[Q] Oversized album art in lock screen

Hi,
I have an issue with my album covers in the lock screen as they don't display properly, when I look at them in the Music app they are just fine but when it's in the lock screen they appear to be zoomed in.
Is there any way to have the albums show up properly in the lock screen ?
And thanks in advance!
That's standard behaviour. Mine does that.
Isn't there a way to change that ?

No music background on lock screen

Why there is no music background (album art) on the screen lock, when music or radio is playing?
This is a build-in option on Lollipop, but it doesn't work on my Edge+.[/QUOTE]
Actually, I believe it was a Kitkat thing for Samsung devices, doesn't do it on Lollipop from what I know

Music Controls in Lock Screen?

Hi.
The stock music player has lockscreen controls accessible without tapping the notification bell, and the album cover appears as the lockscreen background.
However, these features are not available when using other music apps like Spotify and Pandora, which makes skipping a track very annoying since it requires tapping the notification bell. I could care less about the album art in the lockscreen, judt thought I should point it out.
Does anyone know a way to make the spotify or pandora act as the stock music app to get controls in the lock screen? Thanks.

You can wait for future update which should remove the bell as everyone hates it or use another app for locked screen.
The problem with using another locked screen is you end up with two locked screens unless you choose to disable the built-in locked screen.

Lockscreen Music Album Art Cover?

Why doesn't the S8 have album art cover or any type of artist picture? I have tried Spotify and Play Music.
My old WindowsPhone7 device had beautiful animated artist pictures. iPhones just show the default album picture.. S8 doesn't have anything at all? Someone tell me I'm missing something.
Shouldn't be relevant but I'm on T-Mobile USA.
Samsung GS8 does show album artwork on lockscreen. If you touch music player, it even expands into full-screen. I've only tried with Play Music and it works.
You may want to check if Play Music has all permissions for lockscreen interaction.

What do you mean by touch music player? For me touching the song name shows the small picture but it disappears right after I do anything like unlocking the phone or turning screen off.

You can see my attached images in previous post for the reference. After touching song name(first image), lockscreen music player expands (can be seen in 2nd image).

I see. But that thumbnail view doesn't stay after you unlock or turn of screen. Anyway I wouldn't call this full screen.
Looks like I found my first gripe with the S8

Ohh yes! You are right. Thumbnail view disappears after turning off the screen. I'd much rather prefer it to be a default lockscreen view for music.
Come on baby light my fire
I also was wondering why it didn't display any album art. Every other phone does it, LG, Pixel, blah blah. Like why wouldn't you want to see the artwork for the music you're listening to? Makes no sense to me

I prefer it this way. I would rather see my custom background over some album artwork.
Now this is a reason for a root tweak.
I honestly don't understand why is this annoying me THIS much .. I need my album cover to show !!!
anyone figure out a way to get it to display? I miss seeing album artwork on the lock screen like on all my other phones ?
has a solution to this been found?

Does it show full album art work on your lock screen?
Yes it does
Would like to see the return of fullscreen album artwork on the lock screen without having to use an app really, Apple changed iOS11 to a small widget which annoyed me and now after coming back to Samsung that's been changed, I don't understand why...

Display Music Album Art on Lockscreen?

It seems the S8 can't display music album art from Spotify on the lockscreen (only Google Play music)?
Is there a way to fix this?
