Ability to change cover/icon for playlists

This is something that some of the big streaming platforms allow for and would be a great addition to Roon to personalize the experience.

Sure would… I was hopeful that when Roon completely revamped the UI that playlists would have seen some love.

And Tags could also benefit from custom artwork…

I’m not sure whether “me too” comments help, but at least register me as another user who uses playlists more and more and would like to change the art!

Same Here. I have barely more than one Track fron an Album.
Roon should be more open to people who are Playlist-Focused.
The Old Hirachial Structure of Albums are too static.

Please give us custom Playlist-Covers!

I’d throw in my 2 cents for ability to edit album art for a playlist. This would be specifically good if one had a compilation album (say Citizien Steely Dan) and one wanted to make a playlist for each of the albums it contains.

how is that not a feature yet. its so simple to implement.

Just bought a year of Roon following a recommendation and how is it not possible to add custom artwork to playlists? This is crazy!! Out of all the features it has and this basic hasn’t been implemented. I hope I’ve not just wasted £120.

Same here.

Would love this too. Being able to upload my own image to my playlists (and write a description too while we’re at it) would mean to truly be able to curate my collection of playlists in the way I want.
Plus would help me reconize a playlist just by looking at the image of it. Right now they all look very similiar with those 4 mini song artwork squares

It would be fantastic to have the ability to add or change cover images for playlists in Roon.

Currently, playlists display a generic or automatically generated image, which doesn’t always reflect the personality or mood of the playlist. Being able to set a custom cover (from an image file or album art) would greatly improve visual organization, personalization, and the overall aesthetic of the Roon interface—especially for users with large playlist libraries.

Benefits:

  • Easier visual identification of playlists
  • More personal and curated feel (like Spotify, Apple Music, etc.)
  • Great for themed or mood-based playlists

Thanks for considering this enhancement!
