I would also highlight this as an issue, I have never been able to understand the thinking behind it. It just seems common sense that the artwork displayed should by default match the music actually playing, Its the main reason I hardly ever use playlists as they look stupid, especially when party mode works correctly

Frankly there is no thinking behind it, the behaviour is an accident. But the various ways the playlist is processed, and how related images are displayed is not easy to unravel just looking at the code. Hence it lurks unfixed, because it requires a lot of untangling of code that has grown over time with many contributors. The whole area is ripe for rework, vounteers welcome.

I find it funny that when Kodi does something silly people think it is deliberate, or that obvious behaviour must be easy to implement on an already evolved system.
