Ever since I upgraded to iOS 13 my picture to songs (Album covers) are mixed up on my Iphone .
Showing the wrong cover for the song I am playing.
Movies too. Some movies show a Song Album cover as it's thumbnail ??
But it is all only on my iphone. Syncing doesn't help .
Any help would be appreciated !!

Okay, in case it helps, this did the trick for me:
And then I waited...
And that did the trick. Like magic!

Rationale: I reasoned that for some bizarre reason, the iPhone was pulling images to build playlists from the songs, and so somewhere that process was garbled. The albums and songs had the proper images, but the playlists did not. So I figured "resetting" those relationships might work. So, I experimented by deleting all the songs and albums of a single playlist, and then reloading from scratch. My guess is that this "reset" the song >> album >> playlist image association.
My reasoning might have been wrong, but hey, I can't complain about the results -- 13,000 + songs all look perfectly lovely now with all their correct images, and I did not have to reload images from any source.
I believe you have to delete and re-transfer all songs in your iPhone library. However you use the select tracks to transfer option if you have a large library. Mine has got better but some still are not correct. I’m gonna try again and see what happens. I am using MUSIC on my iMac rather than iTunes. As someone with OCD it’s doing my head in !!! Wish they would resolve ......
The problem seems random. I tried several of the "fixes" listed on this and other threads but the problems with album cover mismatching continued. Deleting the downloads on the phone and re-syncing works in some cases, not in others. It does seem however, that the problem tends to fix by itself with time (after several re-syncs and over a period of time). For some reason, it's the latest song adds that seem to cause the problem and usually if you are replacing songs or pasting artwork to album songs that didn't have any to begin with

I followed your instructions and it mostly corresponded. The only thing was the music never deleted from my phone, even though, I:
No matter what I did, the music and albums were still there but then I noticed something... the album covers... they were right! I clicked on the Sync Music checkbox again in iTunes and it completed the process with the album cover art still correct. Also, somewhere along the way a bunch of music got deleted from my iPhone that got restored.
Thank you! This was so annoying and the other post on this didn't fix the problem.
I have a exact same issue - Big Sur on MacMini - artwork is correct. iPhone 12 Pro Max
Thank you for offering this solution! Everything is back to normal now.
Thanks Edward_Martin_III
I just upgraded (iPhone 13) and this thread and post solved the artwork problem. The iMac sync making sure "sync music" was unchecked did the trick!
Thanks again.
