Playlist Art on iPhone after IOS 13

Hello,

Is anyone else encountering the issue of playlist art not showing the correct album art on the iPhone after updating to IOS 13? Yesterday, I updated my old iPhone X to the new IOS and it messed up the album art on my playlists on my iPhone. I just purchased the iPhone 11 Pro today and I was hoping would the issue wouldn’t be there but it still persists. In fact, it seems to randomly select a covert art for a playlist each time I open the music app. However, when I click on the actually playlist the correct album art is there. I know this is minor issue for some, but it is annoying the crap out of me right now lol.

I’m old school in that I manage all of my music via iTunes on windows and I don’t use the cloud at all. I just prefer to do it this way because I have a ton of music that I imported years ago via CD from back in my high school days. Anyone encountering this issue currently? I’ve tried re-syncing all of the music on my phone several times, uninstalling iTunes on my pc and reinstalling it, and cleaning the cache. I’ve had this happen in the past but can’t remember what I did to fix it. The album art is correct on my pc, and correct once I select a playlist on my phone. It’s just wrong when I’m looking at all of my playlists on my phone.

Best,

iPhone X

I upgraded to 13 and experienced the same. So typically frustrating. My playlist artwork is all corrupted. I can no longer select my playlist at a glance. I think I will have to delete all music on my phone and resync. PIA as I have over 8,000 songs on my phone.

also Catalina does not support iPhoto only Photos and I have TONS of events sets up in iPhoto Z So does 13.3 fix iTunes artwork or not?

Go to iTunes, Click on the 3 dots at the top right of your playlist, click on copy play order and your artwork will change to the first 4 songs on your playlist

I have over 2,000 playlists, so recreating the cover art is not a useful solution for me.

Thanks. Yes I just updated to latest beta on my iPhone 8 and I can verify that the playlist artwork is now displaying correctly.

Fingers crossed that the full release fixes it permanently as it’s driving me insane (along with everyone else in this thread :-) )

When you are as big as apple, I guess you do not need to give a ****. It’s broke so let the consumers take their time to band aid it. Sad and Ridiculous.

This is fixed on the IOS 13.3.1 beta 1. My playlist artwork is back to normal - FINALLY 😬

Oh dang! That is great news. I will wait until it's not a beta version to update and see...

You duplicate the playlist, rename it differently, erase the original playlist, put the correct name of the playlist and problem solved even though I know there are a lot of steps to go.

Like I said, if I'm going to rebuild playlists, it's going to be on Winamp because I've dropped the iOS for good...
