Hi Stefan,
Is it possible to show the album Year field in the now playing screen
together with the album Name? I would greatly appreciate that feature.
It would be even nicer if one could choose which fields are shown in the
now playing screen using e.g. toggles.
Kind regards,

Yes.
I think it depends on when you start the playback. If it's running it
will continue but you can't start the App in the background. SqueezePad
probably stays awake for a few minutes after playback stops but not
permanently.

Do you have a possibility to upload two affected FLACs somewhere, so I
can test them?
If you want to test on your own, I'd be interested if:
- you also have problems with other FLAC files ripped or purchased on a
different date
- removing the embedded image makes a difference.

Removing the album art from the FLAC files has no effect on the glitch
