Syncing of Album Artwork

Hi,


I added some music to my library, it synced to my Apple Music Library (matched). I deleted and downloaded the files again (from Apple Music). When I now want to change the cover art (either delete or change), the original art keeps reappearing after a few seconds.


Is there a way to stop this automatic syncing? And force it to use and save the Album art I choose?


Thanks!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0

Hi svendeneve,


Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. We understand the album artwork you have chosen is being changed by Apple Music.


Let's check Music > Preferences > Advanced > Automatically update artwork. Once there, we'll need to ensure this option is unchecked. You may also find additional help updating album artwork linked below.


Cheers!

Hi,


I added the song from my desktop. It was added to my music library (and got status 'matched'). I deleted my version and downloaded the version from Apple Music. I can adapt all other metadata, but the album cover always resets to the one I had when it was first uploaded (whether I delete it or replace it with another).


So support it is I guess?


Thanks,


Sven
