Consider a simple case of two images, and 10 votes. 6 people vote for image A, 4 for B.
As it stands at the moment, 4 people don’t get what they would prefer, and whoever uploaded that image may be demotivated and disincentivised to do any more.
With @simon_pepper s proposal, all 10 people get what they want, and both people who uploaded images have some recognition and gratitude for their work.
And in the case of images where you are happy to go along with the majority, should the “winner” always be chosen? Why not still vary the artwork offered, maybe weighted by preferences?
Or, much more simply, give the possibility that the “heart” you put on the image in Valence is also the choice for your case. If and when you get tired of that image, you will go back to Valence and change your choice or upload a new image.
If you don’t choose any image, automatically the one with the most “hearts” will be the choice
Since this has now been turned into a votable feature suggestion, would those who haven’t voted, consider voting for it. The “heart” idea is a good one.
Constraints make for good design. If we could vote for anything and everything, we would get nothing done. Hence my anti-feature request which I knew would be unpopular

Nobody mentioned voting for " everything and anything".
Just a few more available votes would be nice.
That’s it…not unlimited.
Obviously everyone is entitled to their own opinion
If only the things we had voted on had been implemented, then we could take our votes back and re-use them.
I will have to review mine, but I remember the last time I looked I thought I had used them wisely
We’ll that’s the thing… how long should we wait before redeploying our votes? And I don’t remember voting for anything remotely like valence art director, even though it’s kinda cool.
Agreed and it is pretty cool (though I might actually have voted for more and varied artwork).
The lack of actual new features does mean that our votes sit mostly wasted though.
I think that I would rather Roon focus on stability for the near future and take all our votes off us and not have another release over Christmas like we just have
The hardcore method to make Valence Art Director shine is:
Remove the option to add artwork inside Roon incl. already added artwork that way, so many of us will wake up to many artists with no artwork, it’s a cruel world we live in.
This way will force users to upload to VAD so everyone will benefit, but the user shall have the option to pick the artwork they prefer to see in Roon, those that don’t choose will get the artwork most users have chosen.
Currently the image being displayed is the one that has the most votes. If you don’t like it you can choose your own image but doing so will not only change the avatar but also the wide banner and (I think) you can’t use different personal photos for avatar and banner.
basically, i dont’ really see the reason for having for some artists many pictures available, and not being able to really choose one, but only vote one…
the “workaround”, id est to edit a personal image, is not acceptable as that tool does not allow to set the three views (avatar, etc)
