Now, go to tapmp3.net from your browser. This website will help in merging the music file with the album art for Spotify. Drag the mp3 file to the website to upload it. After that, you will be asked to upload the album art for the file. Select the file and upload it. You can also change the Title, Artist, and Album name here. The Title, Artist, and Album name will be visible to others as well. Set these three names and save the changes. Now download the file that is created.
You will see an mp3 file with the album art. This is the file that you will be uploading to Spotify with your desired album art. Now, add this file to a folder. Prefer to create the folder on your desktop itself. This will make it easy to locate it later on. Now, open Spotify on your computer. Click on the Settings option at the top right corner of the screen. Keep scrolling down until you find the Local Files option. If it is not enabled, toggle the button in front of that button to turn it on. After that, click on ‘Add a source’. This option will be right under the Local files option. In the small window that pops up on your screen, select the folder with the file you just created. It will add that local file with the customized album art to your Spotify playlist.
