Music on iOS displaying wrong album artwork with iPhone 12 Pro

Hiya,

I have had my iPhone 12 Pro for a couple of weeks now. I transferred data wireless from my previous iPhone Xs. I was surprised to see it also transferred my music because in the past, when restoring from a Mac, I would still have to manually move over music from iTunes/Music apps.

All that said, I recently purchased a few albums from Bandcamp and when I transfer from the MacOS Music app it displays the wrong artwork on my iPhone 12. For example, I bought the new David Lord album and after transferring it displays Aphex Twin album art on my iPhone Music app. I've tried deleting the music off my phone, and even erasing album art metadata and adding it again. Doing this does not fix the issue. Anyone have any ideas? I'm a nerd and it's important to me that the album artwork looks correct when using the Music app. Thanks.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

I am running an iphone 12 pro max on 14.3 and had this issue after getting my new phone.

I was able to solve it thus:

I selected the phone in iTunes and and unchecked the box for "Sync Music xxxx songs" in the music section underneath "Summary"

I then synched the phone removing all playlists and music.

I opened the music app on the phone and it still showed the songs with the 'bad' cover art but all playlists were gone.

I then rechecked the box for "Synch Music" and kicked off another synch,

After all music was reloaded on to the phone, the issue was resolved.
