Describe the issue

If I press "edit" artist and "change image" and upload from my computer the same picture shows both on the circular avatar preview list and on the artist profile. How can I add both a wide artist profile picture and a different circular avatar artist picture?.I see some artists have different pictures by default, but I cant add two different pics myself.

Hello @Bjornvarthr,

Thank you for reaching Roon support

Thank you for your question!

Currently, Roon does not support uploading two separate images—one for the circular avatar and another for the wide artist banner—via the manual “Edit Artist” > “Change Image” option. When you upload a custom image from your computer, it is used for both the circular avatar and the banner view across the app.

The ability to display different images for these two areas is a feature provided by Valence Art Director, which is part of Roon’s metadata platform. Through this program, Roon curators manually select the best-fitting images for both formats: a tightly cropped headshot for the avatar and a wide-format photo for the artist banner. That’s why you may see different images by default for some artists—these have been curated through Valence.

At this time, however, the Art Director functionality is not available to end users for manual image uploads. You can read more about it here:

We understand that more control over artist imagery is a highly requested feature, and we’ve passed along this feedback to the team.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Ok, I hope in the future I can pick one avatar image and a different profile picture from the ones in Valence
