How to change album cover on Apple Music

Same here mine are all mixed up now. I just got a new SE and all the manually downloaded music from cds and things wasn’t transferred to my new phone. Not sure why? It also wasnt on my Mac which I thought was weird. I just synced with ITunes on my Windows computer which had all my other music on it and it switched up all the album artwork!!! ITunes has never worked well for me. I think I have all my music now but it just hurts to look at all the wrong album covers

I have a large music library in iTunes. The artwork and playlists shown on iTunes looks correct. I just got my iPhone 12 Pro w 512gb. I synch 200GB worth of music to my iPhone. After moving to my new phone and synching it, on my iPhone most album playlist entries have been duplicated, making them unusable without me going in and editing each list by hand. If I delete the album on my phone manually and resynch, the duplicate entries disappear but 90% of the time I wind up with random and incorrect artwork for each album. If I delete all music on my phone and resynch from scratch, I wind up with all the duplicate entries again.

Would love a solution for this nonsense!

I actually found a recipe that works to fix both the album artwork errors (when correct in iTunes, wrong on iPhone) and also fix my duplicate entry problems. Its a bit tedious/lengthy but could be worse. I found that if you delete the album on your iPhone that has either wrong artwork and/or duplicate song entries and re-synch, both issues get fixed on that album. It took me a few hours, but it fixed my music on my iPhone.

Hey! I have the same problem and none of these things above worked.

its so weird because in iTunes on the iMac everything is fine but when i transfer the library to my iPhone the album covers get mixed up.

I‘ve discovered that for me its for every artist the same cover, even tho each song should have its own cover, its the same for every song.

i tried to also remove certain songs on the phone and the re sync but this doesnt help.

My phone is also updated.

is there anything that could help?

I'm having the same issue both with iPad and iPhone. I've tried deleting the album and re-syncing and it comes back with yet another album cover, just never the correct one. It's incredibly aggravating. My iOS is up to date on all devices.

I tried that, manually deleted re sync and still having multiple artwork mismatches. Different mismatches than prior, but wrong artwork nevertheless. Any other suggestions? This is pretty amateurish work by Apple.

New 12 Pro. All operating systems up to date. When I synchronize to my (Windows) laptop iTunes, the end result is that most of my album covers do not appear with the correct album. Looking for a solution.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, all my music was messed up after transferring from iPhone X, and some missing.

At first the album art looked ok, but I had a number of songs greyed out saying not available in my region/country just after the iPhone to iPhone transfer. Synced to my mac, hoping that would straighten things out, and but even more songs were greyed with the issue. And some of these songs were original music by friends bands so should not be. Restarted phone and sync'd again, and songs were now duplicated with one version greyed one version working. And a number of songs with the wrong Album Art.

Deleted all music from my phone and resync'd that eliminated the duplicates and all the greyed out songs as far as I've noticed.

But almost all the Album Art is now totally mixed up regardless if it's music ripped from CD's from years ago, music purchased from iTunes over the years, or original music i set the Album Art for. Everything is still correct on my MacBook Air.

Upgraded to 12 pro from iPhone X and sync between the two phones moved the music, but iTunes (PC) doesn't recognize that there's any audio on the phone. So, I can't remove anything. AND, all attempts to add new music results in mismatched album cover art. Spent an hour with APPLE on the phone with no resolution, and no way to get the old music off my phone unless I wipe it to factory settings and reinstall everything (as opposed to restore from back-up, which just puts the audio files back the way they were.)

Clean this up Apple...it stinks!

Try unchecking the problematic playlists from your iTunes iPhone page, then synchronize your phone, and after your iPhone is devoid of music, resync after rechecking wanted playlists. You may well need to reinstall some album covers via iTunes Get Info, but now my phone is completely accurate.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Don't the Apple developers believe in testing any more? Such a simple issue yet unaddressed by the developers. If you want me to keep upgrading my phone, make it take less than 2 days to get it right. Album art; Really? We dealt with that in the 90's. Get it together. I've spent at least 3 hours trying to get the album artwork right with no satisfaction. Chime in, or leave the party Apple.

Couldn’t agree more. The main reason I’ve stayed with Apple is the fact you can buy physical music, support the artist, then drag and drop onto your phone. Always thought the customisation, or adding your own art if the release you buy is limited edition, adjusting compilations to sit with the artist; renaming songs etc

the fact they have completely ruined the music aspect with the art work error, with no real indication of fixing it has me considering another phone.

makes me feel like they purposely don’t want to fix it so we all subscribe to Apple Music rather than manually manage music, but I’ll never do that as streaming culture is killing career musicians.

if the artwork bug isn’t fixed soon, I’ll be moving to another device provider.

I tried deleting a album here and there and re-syncing, in some cases also restarting. It works for some albums but not everyone.

Decided to try deleting all music from iPhone again, restart both MacBook and iPhone then Re sync. I looks like most of the albums have the correct Cover Art. But not all.

What it very odd now is that at least some of the albums (purchased from iTunes ) that have the wrong cover art have pictures that are from either my phone or MacBook (not sure were they reside). Pictures I’ve taken of local bands ( not ones I’m using for Cover Art for other albums).

Not sure I’m up for another round of delete and Re sync and guess if more will be fixed or it will get worse.

Hopefully at some point Apple will get this fixed.

Chris, I totally agree with your sentiment.

Having the same issue with my Xmax since March 2020 or early.

Definitely, not buying anymore Apple products!! This **** is ridiculous!! Always something with there devices. No PiP on youtube, selling over priced devices with incriminate changes. This **** with the album art. I am finished with Apple!

Not upset with having issues. **** happens!! I am upset with the excuses and the amount of time it’s taking to fix these issues!!
