I have a compilation as shown. All the songs are in a playlist.

I like to see all the cover art for each track, but as you can see, adding a compilation fills the Recently Played section with many new unwanted album covers.

Obviously I just want 1 album cover to represent the compilation. For example the Korea Top 100 cover as shown. So then I would see only the single Korea Top 100 album cover.

But if you use an album cover for the compilation album then all the individual track cover art disappears. They all inherit that new Korea Top 100 cover.

Are there any tricks to do this?

Instead of making them a compilation, you will have to create a playlist.

The playlist can have the cover art you want, with all the songs within the playlist having their own individual cover art.

When you select the tracks as a compilation, it treats them all as under 1 album - similar to a greatest hits album. The playlist is the only way to have the cover art you want with all the music you want...just make sure you de-select the compilation tab to the songs within the playlist.
