How can I disable album art on my lock screen? I'm not a big fan of my lock screen getting hijacked by whatever music app is currently playing. Is there a setting, app, or work around that can disable album art from being displayed on my lock screen? Preferably without rooting.

I'm using a Moto X Pure Edition running Nougat. I would prefer solutions that work for Google Play Music.

Google Play Music, since version 8.7, has a setting to enable/disable album arts on the lock screen.


Open Google Play Music, then open Settings.
In the Play back section, disable "Show album art on lock screen".




The album art will now be shown next to the music buttons instead of taking over the whole screen when it is locked.

Note: Tested on versions 8.8 and 8.18.
