Why does the album artwork in Itunes and Iphone mix up?

Lately all of my music has mixed up artwork on both Itunes on my computer and also the music on my Iphone. It seems if I try to change/correct the artwork song by song it makes it worse. I am hoping there is a easy way of fixing this? Currently Itunes on my computer and my Iphone are set up to sync when connected. I have tried to sync and if anything it made the situation worse. Some of my songs originally did not have any artwork such as non itunes purchases, however now some of those songs have random artwork from other albums in my library. I have no idea what caused this to happen but it is annoying and hopefully easily fixed.


Thanks

Hello there dbny15,


Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities!


For assistance with changing the artwork via iTunes, check out the steps below. With these steps, check to see if the artwork is what you set to be displayed within Info section to determine if that has changed on it's own as well. Additional information can be found here: Add artwork to content in iTunes on PC


Add artwork to music and video

1. In the iTunes app on your PC, choose Music from the pop-up menu at the top left, then click Library.
2. Select one or more items in your iTunes library, choose Edit > [Item] Info, click Artwork, then do one of the following:
• Click Add Artwork, select an image file, then click Open.
• Drag the image file to the artwork area.
To retrieve album artwork from the iTunes Store for your entire library, choose File > Library > Get Album Artwork.


In addition to checking that, do you have Sync Library enabled if you're using Apple Music? If you're unsure, check out the following resource to see if this could be related to the changes you're seeing as the Apple Music catalog will sync the artwork if it matches content: Turn on Sync Library with Apple Music


We hope this information is able to help.


Have a great day!

Fix up everything in your library first. See Grouping tracks into albums for general advice on setting metadata for best results. If syncing doesn't mirror changes correctly to the device you can try removing the tracks in question then adding back again, but if that doesn't help it may be best to remove all music from the device, then add back once more. A more thorough approach may be to backup the device, restore as a new device, restore your backup, then reload the music.
