Q: Missing Cover Art after update to 12.5.1.21
I just updated to 12.5.1.21. I usually replace the audio book cover art with a jpg that has more resolution. All of these replaced images are gone. (windows version of itunes- win 10)
1) Right click on a book..Choose "Get Info"...Click on "Artwork" Tab [Note: NO slider bar below artwork]
2) The OLD artwork is shown....Click on "Add Artwork"..... Choose new artwork (jpg) & click "Open"
3) New Artwork appears AND the Slider bar appears below artwork window
4) Using the slider I can see BOTH New & Old artwork. Note the following:
a) You can 'add' the same (or different) artwork several times and each additional image will appear
b) Sometimes you can right click on an image and choices to "delete" or "get" artwork are shown
c) Choosing "Delete Artwork" makes the image disappear in the Artwork window - the slider bar shows it's gone
b) BUT after clicking OK... the OLD image is back as the cover art AND if you right click .."Get Info".."Artwork"
the New images you've added are gone!
Recap
All added images to audio books prior to 12.5.1.21 are gone (ie not in Get Info...Artwork - NO slider). Only old artwork.
If you add a new image to a audio book (Get Info,,Artwork...Add Artwork) it disappears when you click OK.
So.. right now if you upgrade you both loose any book covers you've added AND you can't add them back (think 500 books and custom covers....)
I should also add that this is not the 1st time an update has broken something with audio books. Usually Apple fixes it within 3 to 6 months.
Thanks,
John
