Q: Unable to upload custom album art

I recently updated my iTunes to 12.5.1. Shortly thereafter I uploaded two albums into iTunes.

 

There is no native cover art from the iTunes store for these albums, so I needed to upload the cover art manually, which I have done hundreds of other times for the CDs in my collection that I keep in iTunes.

 

However, for some reason I have not been able to upload any art for these two albums and I only have the generic iTunes musical note icons where the album art would be (in grid view).

 

I’ve done all of the normal steps:

Right-click on album>get info>click artwork tab>add artwork>select artwork and click OK

 

All the other times it worked I’d get a little status bar come up as if it was processing the art and attaching it to the tracks/album and the art would show up on the grid view.

 

However, now when I click OK nothing happens…it’s like I never tried to add the art to begin with.

 

I’ve also tried doing the same thing by individual track, but that also does nothing.

 

Has something changed with this update that prevents adding custom artwork?
