Playlist Art on iPhone after IOS 13

Exactly!!! Would be nice for Apple to acknowledge the problem and let us know it is a concern they are working on to fix.

We all make mistakes, it’s how we deal with them that differentiates us. Apple is not doing a good job of being the concerned and responsible service provider.

I just thought I'd mention I too am experiencing the issue exactly as most of you describe it...and my home computer is a mac.

All the album art for my playlists are mixed up on my phone, and I've tried deleting everything off, resynching, basically all the tricks I could think of or google.

Very frustrating...and the wrong artwork is surprisingly distracting!

If there were an option to list all the playlists without the artwork, that would even be an acceptable workaround for me.

I like having artwork. It’s part of the album and it helps to see what is in the playlist. It selects the artwork based on the songs in the playlist, as I would prefer to have it work. That way, it is easier to see what is in the playlist quickly at-a-glance. I do believe that Apple has not responded to a single inquiry, comment, complaint or compliment.

I have turned off auto update on all of my devices. Can’t risk it. It’s a shame we can’t enjoy all of the new enhancements Mr. Cook and his team so proudly announced. They failed to mention all of the bugs. They must have known about them. If you sense a little sarcasm, anger, frustration and disappointment in my posts, you are wrong, It’s not a little, it’s a lot.

Well, apple is not even the shadow of former apple. We all know it. If others would be better, we all would change the team. Lack of esprit, lack of reaction, lack of support, lack of a lot of things - they do not care a bit anymore. Too big to fail? Wait!

I have been constructive in all of my comments. Apple has censored two of my postings as “non-constructive”. Here is a serious question for you Apple, how do I take all of the music (17,000 songs) that I have PURCHASED from you over the years and convert it so I can move to an android phone??? I’m done with you.

@justbeth

This is the first time I've heard of the artwork being messed up with the individual songs themselves ... for me it was just the Playlist "folder" art that was buggered.

I was actually at an Apple Store today and an Employee said he noticed the main problem too.

And he's not a fan of Apple Music as he has both an Apple and an android phone, and he wants to have his music on both devices.

I would bet that apple has done this bug for the new system, in which iTunes does not exist any more. There it might be no bug any more.

But they could have warned, could have worked out better etc etc etc.

And what shall the ones do, that do not want to upgrade?

I have apple computers since nearly 40 years.

I always updated or upgraded immediately my software and often hardware when new OSs were out.

Now it is over.

If apple do not care to fix their bugs (I do not even say TEST the upgrades really good before letting a new system out, what once was quite normal) in a good time, especially comunicate as a good professional with us, then I will slow down.

Very much slow down.

Catalina I will NOT install at all , because I really do not need to pass my time working problems out, mostly on the line with the so called "support", where people without deep knowledge work.

I need a functioning system and not a NEW un-functioning. This call of sirenes will pass by me.

I bet that our problem here will be gone if we upgrade to catalina. So apple is forcing us to go to a certain path. They do it in several spheres, for example with iCloud.

I resist where I can.

Now I will wait that this bug with the covers wil be fixed.

Before I will do absolutely nothing.

Except giving apple where I can very bad notes.

As I fear, not the erasing and syncing was the solution, because this several people did (me, too), without result - but that you installed CATALINA.

And exactly this I was pointing at - apple makes new things, test it on the new OS - and that was it. The ones that do not move like THEY want, remain with a handful bugs and are served by the time, IF apple wants.

That is blackmail and I really hate it.

I will not go to catalina before the bugs are done!

And if it will take too long for this - I will move on. The time for blackmailing is over. At least in my case.

No, as I did not and will not upgrade to Catalina, I cannot say this.

What I am saying is that I FEAR that it is like that.

Have you read jessbnme up here? He moved to catalina and now it is ok.

I cannot see any problem for apple leaving me with mojave 10.14.6 AND a functionning iTunes.

Note I'm using iTunes 12.6.5.3 as that is the last version that allows iTunes to install and arrange apps on my iDevices.

As I have over 150 apps, it'll be a pain to download and arrange each one from the Apps store.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I may have jus found an old school way of syncing under Catalina.. which in addition to this, and the mentioned above "obtaining artwork" may solve this issue once and for all... give me. little bit to see how this works... I will be in touch

Cool, thanks very much for sharing...and hey I understand the sick feeling...I’ve spent hundreds of hours building my library, I’m sure many of us have. I’m usually pretty slow and casual with the upgrades (give time for the dust to settle) but I had to get a new phone and with the new iOS that came with it the cover art roulette problem popped up of course

This works on the couple I tested. I have probably 300+ full albums on my phone. Do you know if once you re-sync it to itunes does it mess the covers back up? Or is there a way to prevent it from doing so once you manually fix them all?

Thanks!
