Playlist Art on iPhone after IOS 13

I had this issue. I had to replace the playlist artwork with a new version of the art. The actual track art was fine. I found it wasn’t all of my playlists though and once I had fixed the specific ones the rest sorted themselves out. I have spotted a new odd issue where one or two playlist art would swap to another if you touched the art of the playlist. Again replaced the art on those ones and now all good.

Thanks to all who mentioned CS Music. Just downloaded it and am happy to see my playlist artwork previews correct again. For $2.99, well worth it.

I'm still disgusted Apple's own software does not work on its own hardware. It's months later — and no fix. Ridiculous. Apple's reliability and devotion to their customers used to be their edge up on the competition. Now they're just another player collecting money...

With CS Music, do you have to “start from scratch” with the playlists, or is there a way to transfer the library (artists, albums, and playlist), over to the new platform? Why I ask is, I have well over a hundred playlist, never mind purchased and uploaded bands.

It's really easy and all automatic. Everything from Apple Music just appears (correctly) in CS Music. It was the best $3 I ever spent! It's not really a new platform. It's just a different front-end for the music program, and MAN does it work great! The only thing I have not tried, and not even sure if it can be done, is making changes from CS music to the music database. You might still need the Apple music program or iTunes for that.

I'm experiencing the same issue on an iPhone 11 running iOS 13.2.3, with most of the album artwork incorrect (despite it all being correct on my Mac). This is after deleting all the music off the phone and resyncing a playlist from iTunes on my Mac (I haven't upgraded to Catalina and the separate Music app on my Mac yet.) Before I resynced, the album art was correct (I'd migrated all my data to the new phone from an older one.) Very frustrating, and the artwork is wrong everywhere, not just when viewing Downloaded Music or the synced Playlist. It's also wrong in two other music apps I use on my phone - Ecoute and TunesFlow (which I use specifically for the album art). The same wrong artwork shows up each time I open the app, even after a restart or forced reboot. It seems like a new issue in iOS 13.

CS Music actually works with the Apple Music app — it is not a stand-alone app. It reads the Music library and correctly displays the art. If you play a song in CS Music and then open the Music app, you'll see the song is being played there as well. For me, CS Music's only function is to correctly display artwork. Considering this is a 2.5MB download, it's clear that Apple's reluctance to fix the problem is sheer laziness — or complete disinterest...

I am also having this problem, as is my spouse. We both have iPhone 7's. I will not be upgrading to Catalina for at least a few years, as I will lose access to over $1,000 of older software. Also, I have 1000+ playlists, and will be very angry If I need to correct the cover art manually on all of them. Apple please fix this!

As a dj who has 10,000 songs locally on my iPhone 11, this frustrates me that I can’t use the Music App to show my hard work of collecting hundreds of album covers. Is there another free app like C5 music or Marvis Pro that shows artwork correctly ? Apple seems to think this isn’t a big deal

This is also happening to me. I have quite recently gone from iPhone 8 Plus 256GB to a iPhone 11 Pro Max 256GB and have a lot of music. It’s annoying and I hope this can get fixed soon. My OCD with my music is severe. Everything has to appear perfect and as I intend. Hopefully someone can give us a decent answer...?

I’ve checked many forums.. Still no response from Apple? We pay for their service to basically share music. The music feature is pretty much the same as Spotify and even Amazon Prime music. I prefer Apple Music but if it’s not working what’s the point? Can we get some support because I’m one of millions experiencing the bullshit glitch that is not being addressed by Apple. And I’m on an iPhone still paying for the service. I’d appreciate if it can be fixed on your end and not a move the force to buy another phone. Eventually I plan to but if it’s forced, than that will effect my trust. I’ll promote whatever I feel. Please fix the issue Apple.

I am also frustrated to the point of making a move to Android. Not what I want but the numerous glitches, including artwork and freezing, have me to the point of making a move. My move will be a Royal PIA as I have 10 devices that will be moved. My brother is an Android user and lives it. Oh well, all things come to and end.

I have an iPhone 11 and iOS 13.3 and the iTunes album artwork on my playlist is shuffled and not displaying correct on the listing screen. When you select a playlist the album artwork is correct in the file it’s just not displaying the correct artwork in the playlist menu. So frustrating!!!! I do not subscribe to Apple Music- I’m sure that’s the fix, right?!? Ugh. Help me please. 😤😭🤯😫

exactly what is happening to me (and most) I have the xs and 13.3 💁🏻‍♀️Can't believe Apple isn't addressing the issue. Makes me even more unlikely to subscribe to Apple Music. My playlist are all named also so its getting easier for me to ignore the artwork on playlist. Once I click on list its all fine. I'll deal!

Leaving this forum. Too many postings outlining and confirming that there is a problem with the new phones and OS on multiple levels without any comments from Apple acknowledging issues or a plan to correct. Can’t deal with all of the time consuming daily emails I am getting.

I am also leaving Apple for these reasons.

see you on the other side.

Adios amigos.

They will probably delete this post.

I don’t blame you one bit. I have the same issues other posts layout as far as artwork now a mess. It should not be up to the consumer to patch Apple’s once beloved ITUNES!! Apple is divorcing ITunes so really does not give it's issues much thought anymore. Whatever.
