Hi, since the last update I can’t choose my own cover with a few local albums. When I click edit and drag and drop the image and click save, Roon goes to the Home Screen but with the same blank cover than before.

@Pau_Ferron,

What happens when you go to the Album Editor, click on ‘EDIT ALBUM’ and then scroll (a little way) down to ‘ALBUM ARTWORK’ and click on the grey ‘Add image’ button to select your own image that way?

I select the cover, then appears but when I click on save nothing happens and Roon returns to main screen (not editor menu)

That is strange. The process I describe (I’ve just repeated it successfully) is how it’s supposed to happen.

And you’re sure the image is the r[ight size and resolution for _Roon_](https://community.roonlabs.com/t/size-of-artist-image/1095)?

Have you tried [clearing your image cache](https://community.roonlabs.com/t/clearing-cache-from-my-roon-server/203983/2), relaunching _Roon_, and adding an image again?
