Sep 14, 2016 9:22 PM in response to Ian Kelleighby MikeDavidHoward,I have the same problem.
I don't believe the music needs to come from apple (buy). Loaded a new artist/song from music CD/DVD without purchase from apple music. On my mac the artist photo was a generic microphone. Sync with my iphone and artist view correctly portrait the artist. I don't subscribe to "for you". I think this is a bug. Apple should fix it.

you may can use this app to help with the covers and even more:
https://www.tune-instructor.de/en/tutorials.html
download it and use Tutorial Embed iTunes Store artwork in ID3-Tag
Hope it does fit what you all looking for.

Sep 15, 2016 5:51 AM in response to turingtest2by maceasy,thanks turingtest. I have successfully downgraded to 12.4.3. I am still on 10.11. thank goodness for that. No more ugly graphics. Who knows what goes on in Apple's mind, removing features arbitrarily, ones that people had got used to and liked. Change for change's sake, and who cares what the users think.

Sep 15, 2016 5:56 AM in response to Ian Kelleighby Adams261,Sorry while I am missing some artist and am not happy about it, I have a lot of music that I ripped that shows artists. Also, I may be wrong but it appears that over time, more are showing up. It seems to be similar to iTunes match. Populating the artwork is often delayed for wanter reason. I am hoping that most of this will clear up after a few days.

Sep 15, 2016 6:53 AM in response to tnorrisby drleema,This is a terrible, terrible problem. Also, in windows, there a serious problem of scaling DPI, when the EXPLORE and FOR YOU tab appears awfully big, fuzzy and blur....
Please, apple (in lowercase..), fix it.

Sep 15, 2016 7:20 AM in response to Ian Kelleighby dddwyer,I'm finding that even if I've purchased music from the iTunes store, the artist thumbnail doesn't show up.
I even thought maybe I would've needed to purchase all of an artist's music in my library from iTunes, but that's not the case, either.
If they don't fix it, hopefully they'll let us just switch the microphone thumbnail off.
The contempt Apple has for their users is unbelievable.

Sep 15, 2016 8:05 AM in response to tnorrisby NewfsRock,Same problem here... Does not seem to have anything to do with purchase on iTUNES for me as the few artists faces showing up are there "somehow". Also, If I go to the few artist ArtWork that is showing (instead of the annoying mic) it is actually not in the Art Work window (the one in the Add Artwork).
Rather have iTUNES to work than having "pixel dust" available when you text... A little pathetic. Hope they fix it soon.

Sep 15, 2016 8:19 AM in response to Sydyhby Jeffrey Haas,Same here, hours upon hours of downloading album art to make sure it was fluent with no gaps. And then iTunes updates and removes all of this. Awful, upsetting, aggravating. All of the above. **** you, Apple Music. **** you and your stock images.

Sep 15, 2016 9:03 AM in response to Ian Kelleighby itorra,Well, I have out of 1000 perfectly organized artists I have only 2 artist photo of music I didn't get from Apple Music Store, and for the music I did get from Apple Music Store I don't have artist photo, it seems like a bug.

Sep 15, 2016 9:34 AM in response to itorraby poikkeus1,I agree with the general consensus here: the size of the album image in Album View seems too large, and the circular "microphone" gif accompanying Album View is not attractive.
The problem is that this version is the "golden master" - the final version before general release. At this stage, Apple is primarily interested in getting rid of bugs or errors. Moreover, Apple seems to like the circular "halo" identifier a lot (i.e., this forum)...
...and to denote musical artists.
I have a feeling it's not going anywhere. It's an integral part of Apple's design aesthetic.

Sep 15, 2016 12:02 PM in response to tnorrisby Michael Bennewitz,Lame. it might not be so bad if those microphone icons were not the most pusillanimous pastels possible.
It's also inconsistent. Many of my icons for bands I have purchased via iTunes display the generic butt ugly icon. Seriously Apple, I rarely fault your aesthetic choices, but daaaamn that icon *****.

Sep 15, 2016 10:46 PM in response to tnorrisby MF1984,I am disappointed in the latest update (12.5.1) to Itunes. Clearly, I am not the only one. The loss of features in this version is appalling. The "simplified" look and not having colors to go with the albums is minor in comparison to having "artist art" vanish. I'd like to think that it is just lousy beta testing once again... but I think the disrespect for the customer shows through. Interesting that Apple thinks it is appropriate to stick it's hands into my library without a second thought!! Have no lessons been learned from the U2 debacle, the deleted libraries, missing and changed cover art?? These items are MINE and Apple should take care to leave them alone or take a lesson from MICROSOFT (Could it be?) and offer an option before removing things from my library? The sheer arrogance of their decision is clear...all of my artist artwork has been erased from view, with only artists from Itunes retaining any images! If that were not sufficient, Apple has seen fit to also determine what the proper image to put in place!! My choices for organizing MY music library now have to go through Apple, since I am now unfit to make my own choice. Wow! How long before Apple in their infinite wisdom will be at my door to confiscate liners from my CD collection, record sleeves, and cassette inserts and replace them with drawings of their choosing?! Might as well mix up all the CD's and such, I definitely cannot be left with the responsibility of organizing that library either! Apple, how about fixing this "bug" and as a company, take a minute to think about your customers and having some respect for THEIR personal media library before dictating the company's wishes on us!
