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.
This worked well for me! Thanks for the tip!
Great advice, worked perfectly for me. THANKS!
Hurray! :)
The talks I removed manually from my iPhone were also deleted for MBP. Gone. There's a good lesson.
Well said Edward! It does take less time than you think. ☺️
Only got problems with 2 newly added albums but tried what you said and it doesn’t work.
Sounds like a plan! Re-syncing is going to take a long time but it may be worth it. Be nice if Apple included a fix in an upcoming iOS update.
I had the same problem, and the above suggestion it worked.
Same here; purchased a new iphone 12 mini and now all my music album covers are mismatched....? Please advise!
Not with me; when I go to "Albums" I still have cover art that doesn't match the album.... :( this is extremely frustrating and unprofessional for Apple
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.
Just when I thought I had it all sorted, I discovered that in some albums, I now had 2 copies of each song. So back to Settings> Music > Downloaded Music > Edit and there I could delete the extra songs. It took some doing, but now I think it is mostly correct.
Have had this issue since I upgraded to iPhone 12 Pro, from iPhone 10, along with the duplicated music issue (which I resolved by deleting all of the music on my phone in the storage section, then re-synching).
However, have found that viewing the album artwork in the 'On My Device' section of the iPhone page in iTunes shows the artwork ( for those tracks showing incorrect artwork on my phone ) as being blank, even though the artwork exists in the larger iTunes library.
If I then add the artwork to the tracks where it's missing, on the 'On My Device' screen, it then synch's the correct artwork to my phone.
No idea why these different places would be different though, considering the files were synch'ed from the same library.
Any one from Apple like to assist?
I just got an iPhone 12 Pro yesterday and did the side by side set up with my old iPhone 7 which had several thousand songs. It transferred perfectly but I noticed that a couple of albums were showing as "Various Artists" (on both phones) and I wanted them to be under a single artist so I went into iTunes on my computer and changed the "Performing Artist" field then synced my music and everything doubled up. I deleted ALL the songs off of my iPhone then re-synced and now a lot of the album covers are swapped. I didn't know I had 9 Abbey Roads! This is frustrating and I don't want to re-setup my phone but I may do that because I really want the correct album covers and I don't know when they will fix this issue.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but haven’t Apple stopped updating and providing support for iTunes? I’m sure I read that in the news. In which case, this issue will never be fixed and they’ve left the final version with a huge unusual effort bug.
