Playlist Art on iPhone after IOS 13

Marvis Pro is the best 3rd party app I’ve found. It’s super customisable and looks great

With new update all problem fixed. IOS 13.3 and MacOS 10.15.2.

P.s. no it's not! Most of it but not all of it!

Jlj90,

I deleted all music from my iPhone, unchecked sync music and synced my phone. Deselected all playlists that I want on my phone, did not work. Scrambled most of the playlist artwork. Also deleted all of my recently added so now, I didn’t even have the recently added list in order. This is a problem.

@jlj90

I couldn’t have explained it any better myself.

Before doing something drastic like deleting the whole library, I tried deleting just one playlist and re-syncing ... no deal.

Maybe iOS 13.1 will fix it ... but seeing how it’s been moved up a week to September 24, I doubt the Developers have had a chance to address it.

Hi @DeadGlory

Thanks for letting us know.

I tried deleting/restoring just one playlist, but it didn't work.

Maybe the trick is to delete EVERYTHING off the phone?

I've backed up most of my Playlists into .txt files, so hopefully I don't need to create new ones.

but I'm still going to wait for iOS 13.2+ before taking such drastic measures ... I'm sure others with a HUGE number of playlists will not be impressed with this workaround.

That sounds scary. Let me know how it works. I deleted all music from my phone in settings under music and reloaded my playlists after selecting not to sync music in iTunes on my computer. Did not work.

Decided to bite the bullet and decided to delete all the music from my iPhone XS Max.

Oddly enough, even though I used iTunes to also delete the playlists off my phone, my phone still had empty playlists in the Music app ... I manually deleted them.

As I had backed up my playlists, I then re-synced the playlists with iTunes on Windows 10.

STILL MESSED UP !

If Apple doesn't address this, I guess I'll have to get used to going by playlist name instead of by album art.

I've actually tried contact Support several times thru chats ... they all act like they've never heard of this before ...

Same issue here, I would use ICloud music as it automatically corrects and adds artwork, but I have 17,500 songs on my phone, and about 40,000 in my iTunes library on windows. No idea how to stop it from trying to sync literally everything in the library so I’m stuck with incorrect artwork on my playlists. It’s godawful

I am having this same issue. Everything fine on Xs, upgraded to 11 Pro and new OS and this issue. Removed all music from the device, re-synced, and having the same issue. Playlists seem to use either wrong playlist artwork or a single wrong album artwork.

Hoping they fix it soon; I visually browse my library a LOT.

I’m have the same issue. I’ve restarted my phone back try deleting a few song and adding the back it does work. Example Drake’s album CAREPACKAGE. has a Danity Kane album cover one it. Not it not just recently added songs now it effected some song that I had for awhile . I have an iPhone 6 and there no issue with the album art work on there and has been recently updated. I currently have an iPhoneX this is really annoying with the last 2 updates for iso 13 i

and it still hasnt been resolve it and Apple support has be able to resolve it either. There other issue like my blue when I text isn’t working, pressing my pin to unlock phone not pick up all my typed in #CAN YOU GUY FIX THIS WITH THE NEXT UPDAYE PLEASE!!! I’m really regretting this update

I have suggested to Apple that they delete the artwork on the Playlist altogether and just have list of names. Seems easy enough, but they don’t respond to a single user. Others that say to create a new Playlist and delete the old one, that doesn’t work either. As I scroll down the Playlist and back, the artwork changes. BTW, as a user we have no choice of Playlist artwork. Software chooses it.

Yep, encountered same issue on iPhone X updating to iOS 13.1.2 - Album artwork for playlists are randomly changing and incorrect. When you go into the playlist, the artwork is correct. Music on phone is combination of purchased and synced from iTunes from CDs. Hope this gets fixed soon!

Since updating to IOS 13.1 from 12.4.1 last week on my iPad Pro (purchased last year) my artwork in

music playlists keeps changing.  I have the same problem as ...

On page 5 of the thread above it concerns me when someone says they phoned apple support and was told they had not heard of it.  There has been no mention of this except at

Please fix this. 

I’m not 100% convinced that updating to Catalina is going to solve the issue... as the issue happened to me right after updating to iOS 13 without even syncing it with my Mac. However, it is possible there may be code in iOS 13 that is written for Catalina so that when you sync, the software On the iOS device and the computer are back in sync with each other. However, if that is not the case, do not expect a quick fix on this. Being that they are doing away with iTunes and rolling out this whole new system, they aren’t going to care about this until that is all laid out. I am thinking about updating my Mac that I sync my music with to Catalina and seeing if it works. I will let you all know!!!!!

Don't feel bad. It's not just Windows users. I've been using a Mac for a while and my album art is ALL OVER THE PLACE! This is the weirdest glitch that I can remember. On top of that, some of my latest music that I downloaded just disappeared from my phone. Even though I hadn't even connected my phone since the update, the music just vanished! It was still in my iTunes library, but was grayed out. Thankfully, it came back after I did a sync, but still...this is really annoying! Every time I do a sync, the album art jumps around in a different way, and it is never correct. I hope they have a whole team dedicated to fixing this ASAP!
