Playlist Art on iPhone after IOS 13

I wish there was a fix without having to update to Catalina (which I do not want to do). They are doing away with iTunes, and applications support such as Creative Suite CS5 which I still use and this would create a bigger problem for me rather than mismatched artwork. Apple really should do a fix within their next update but they want to force people to Catalina and newer osx's so older computers and phones become obsolete.

I believe I know the iCloud/Apple ID problem of which you speak. It keeps asking you to update info over and over again?

I spent hours on the phone with them, without resolution. My iPad and all my Mac OS devices updated did this.

What finally fixed it was signing out of iCloud on the device and then signing back in.

Give that a shot.

These releases are a disappointing mess. I’m sorry I upgraded any of my devices. Just noticed this music/artwork issue today on my iPhone.

IOS 13.1.2 is a mess. This is just one of the glitches. All my iTunes playlists on my iPhone now have a bogus picture. The ones on my laptop and iPad are fine. And how about deleting that email? Have to hit the back arrow and then trash can. Nothing like another step. I also do not like the new volume adjust display -- what is max and min? How about deleting an app? Hold down on app, menu pops up, hit "rearrange," then you get the little circle x. Has then been an exodus from Microsoft? Ughhhhly.

Yep, just happened to me on iOS 13.1 on my new 11 Pro. Didn’t happen on my old 7+ on iOS 13, just after I transferred everything. Tv shows showing artwork from other tv shows, or showing album covers from my music library...what a mess. The TV app has been crap for longer than the podcast app, and seems to be getting worse with each iOS improvement.

All my playlists have artwork from artists with A when viewing them to select a playlist, when you tap the playlist it show the correct artwork, I have removed and resented my music again. For crying out loud Apple, get this fixed!

I fixed this problem over a month ago by deleting all my music, uninstalling iTunes and recreating it all. And now it is all messed up again. It's really annoying to look for a Beatles playlist and miss it because it has cover art from a 1990's Opera album. At this point I would rather not have ANY artwork associated with music; artwork is a disabler not an enabler.

I just noticed that the art is different in the Library view vs the Playlist itself. Only the Library view is messed up. The playlist shows the correct album cover and the cover art changes from time to time in an unpredictable manner. ROFL, my Rock71 playlist has a Roy Rogers album cover art!!! Yahoo ROY and happy trails to you.

IDK if it’s coincidental and susceptible to reversing back, but I joined Apple Music, I hadn’t previously been a subscriber, since then all my playlists and album artwork in my library appear to be correct again??

"sometimes what seems like a simple issue on the surface can be quite complex to fix..."

True.

IMO, the issue could also be related to the fact that the iOS 13 Music app on the device might be optimized for Apple Music on Catalina - and not so much iTunes. And, since Apple has already stated they are moving away from iTunes, I am not optimistic there is too much importance being placed on what is effectively 'backwards compatibility' with their older platform. As a Windows PC user, I will have to continue to use iTunes for the foreseeable future anyway, so I wanted to fix this issue.

At this point, I have fully embraced the 3rd party app I am using, and actually prefer it to the native app since I don't feel like a Luddite for not streaming my music, or using the cloud... And while some people have found potential ways to resolve the issue, I have 100+ playlists, and it was definitely worth the $3 NOT to have to edit them all!

Like I said before - I'd love for Apple to fix this issue - not because I love the Music app so much, but because it would show commitment to fixing things that detract from the user experience of their products.

Thanks!

Yes Apple pls do something on your backend, is frustrating. I use MAC to copy to iphone . MAC book playlist artwork is fine but once transfer to iphone all artwork is mess up.

my itune iCloud music for MAC and iPhone is off , currently both MAC and iPhone software is up to date.

I do not understand why people here still are trying to "solve" a bug problem from apple.

You are losing your time.

And if you call apple, it is even worse. I did it and others did it. Does not help a thing.

As we all know, there is a quick and cheap solution.

CS Music.

Buy it and then wait until apple - one fine day - might rewrite their s..t.

I will not upgrade do Catalina. And I will not buy any "new" hardware so soon.

Or they start acting like a innovative firm again, or they can forget me. At least as long as my stuff works.

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.

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!

I have same problem. now on version 13.3 and still not fixed. contacted apple and they even took control of my phone and could see the problem for themselves. they said it would be reported to there tech team and that I should wait for an update that would hopefully fix it. well that was one iTunes update and one ios 13 update ago and problem persist. very frustrating. I do use iTunes for windows and they assured me that didn't matter. curious if anyone else is still having the same problem.

For me, it's better with 13.3.1, not not fixed. Most of the playlists in Music now show correct -- or at least not wildly wrong -- art/icons. I scrolled through after the update and didn't see things that were obviously wrong, but I didn't go through everything in detail. I saw a few things that didn't look right, but I haven't had a chance to compare the artwork on my iPhone against that in iTunes yet.

Video/TV show playlists in the TV app (also imported through iTunes) are still wrong, though, for me.

Still, a (partial?) fix is better than nothing.
