Playlist Art on iPhone after IOS 13

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 ******** 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. 😤😭🤯😫

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.

My issue is identical. The playlist artwork is correct when you open the playlist. But the artwork is scrambled on the playlist screen. I won’t subscribe to Apple Music until they fix this. I will probably leave Apple products because this is unethical to force people to a paid music service by releasing buggy software.

I am NOT HAPPY with Apple. I too like to manually manage my music... Everything is messed up after IOS 13 and OSX 10.15.

Have you found any work arounds yet? I cannot drag and drop my music from my iMac to my iPhone... and I cannot add album art on my iPhone.

Hi - I have contacted Apple and they sent me a nice note with a couple of helps but I don’t think it’s the fix. I need to call them.

here is the link they sent. I do not have a Mac computer- so?

https://support.apple.com/guide/itunes/add-artwork-itns3027/mac

im thinking it’s something to do with a past file? Although before the new iOS it was fine so maybe not.

I will give update after call to support.

Ugh, I was hoping to come here and find a resolution. Not scroll through pages of other poor souls with the same problem. Misery doesn’t always love company.

The new Music app on the Mac and the iPhone issues are a total step back from Apple. Why have they REDUCED functionality for users? I was perfectly happy with the way things worked before.

Fix it, Apple. Jesus. There’s been an insane number of updates and patches since this new crap went live. How is it conceivably possible that these problems persist???

I’m inclined to agree we, whom haven’t so far, should all report it. I was under the foolish impression that Apple might keep a watchful eye over the help forums in order to accumulate data on current faults and discontent.

Welp, phone updated to 13.3 WITHOUT my permission, and now I have this problem. This is why I was staying with ios 12, but I guess the phone AI got sick of it. Now my playlists are screwy, and I read that THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE VERSION 13.0?!!?!!!!! Tried unsyncing music / power cycling / resyncing, didn't do anything.

This is clearly Apple's fault, since the album art didn't change. I wish there were a way to go back to all-text playlists! The wrong artwork is super distracting and makes me flip right past the right playlists.

Where the heck is Apple in this thread? Where have they been the whole time?!!

If I'm rebuilding any playlists, it will be in Winamp because I have finally gone back to an operating system I can trust. To be perfectly honest, the playlists were the ONLY reason I have stuck with Apple.

If you look at the first sentence in my post, you will see it's 13.3. I use a itunes on a Mac.

I spent over four hours yesterday on the phone with Apple, I spoke to five people. Two supervisors and three underlings. I was able to get my case elevated to "engineering" since they could not help me.

It's funny (not haha) that it took four hours for me to get the privilege of actually getting to someone who can help me. Supervisors and underlings only tell you to force restart, unsync and resync music, and also straight up factory reset + restore from backup.

So now I will get an answer in four business days. My guess is that they just stopped supporting iphone 6S, and won't tell me that. My guess is we are all out of luck if we stick with Apple. I do not hear about Android users having dumb problems like this!
