Apple Music album artwork screen saver

Hi

Using Macbook Air and OS Catalina 10.15.5. When I try teh album artwork screen saver I get the message "Your music library does not contain any songs with artwork".

Most of my songs do have artwork.

Any ideas?


Thanks

Chris

Hello christopherfromstanmore,


Thanks for the quick response. Since the issue still persists after completing all of those steps, try booting into another user account on your Mac. If you don't have another user account you can create one for testing purposes. Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac.


If you continue to experience issues, contact Apple Support.


Cheers!

Thanks

i created a new user and the screensaver , Album artwork, worked fine.

To get a song into the new user I downloaded one from mine and copied it across to the new users Music app. Now I’m back in my user the screen saver works but only for that one downloaded track. Therefore I have worked out that it only works with downloaded tracks. Thanks for your help.

Hello christopherfromstanmore,


Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities. We understand that you would like to use the Album Artwork from your Music library as your Screen Saver. When you select this folder you get a message that states " Your Music library does not contain any songs with artwork."


If you haven't done so already, try the following troubleshooting steps, testing after each one:


  1. Restart your Mac.
  2. Make sure Automatically update artwork is enabled in Music Preferences. In the Music app go to Music> Preferences> Advanced> enable Automatically update artwork.
  3. Reset Music Store Cache. In the Music app go to Music> Preferences> Advanced> Reset Music Store cache. Change Advanced preferences in Music on Mac.
  4. If the issue persists, try booting your Mac in safe mode. How to use safe mode on your Mac.


Cheers!
