Why is album artwork not displaying for some of the albums I've recently purchased through iTunes? I clicked on File > Library > Get Album Artwork and it did not resolve the problem, so I found the album artwork online and manually added it to all tracks on the album.
However, in the main Music interface, the artwork for that album still displays as blank. Why?
Here are the screen shots.
Track details show album artwork I added manually.
Main UI still shows blank album artwork.
How do we get Apple's support people to pay attention?
This is a bug in Catalina and iOS. There is nothing you can do.
If you Google the issue you will come across a number of workarounds, all with varying degrees of success.
This bug no longer has a chance at being fixed, since it was never a show-stopping bug, and the time window for Catalina refinements has long passed, as we move into the cycle of the next OS release by Apple.
Based on the history of Agile development practices at Apple, this bug will be carried over into all future releases of Apple Music apps, until they are replaced by a new app, like Music replaced iTunes, since the code where the bug is will not be revisited unless a security flaw is exploited in that specific area of the code base.
