The difference in the covers

I apologize in advance for my English. It is not as good as I would like it to be.)

I have a question: why is the Highway to **** AC/DC album cover on the preview on the itunes website and on the preview in the apple store are the same, but in the downloaded content we have different cover?

Hi Talich,


The artwork which is included with an album download is provided by the music provider. The one thing you do have control over is if you want to change the album artwork to something else. That information was included in the page we shared earlier. Here it is again:

Hey Talich,


We see the slight difference you are referring to in the photos. You may want to check the artwork settings.


You can view this by following the steps below.

To retrieve album artwork from the iTunes Store for your entire library, choose File > Library > Get Album Artwork.

We found this in the iTunes User Guide for Windows here: Add artwork to content in iTunes on PC - Apple Support.


Let us know if you have questions.



Take care!

I have one last clarification).

Can you please tell me if it is possible that the same release provided by the same distributor may have an album cover replaced with a more modern (updated) version over time?

As an example... I bought the "Paramore (Deluxe Edition)" album some years ago. When I bought it, it was cover 1, and about a week ago, I discovered that the cover had changed. It became 2. Neither the distributor, nor the year of issue, nor actually the set of songs had been changed.


PS: I don't want to change the covers myself (I know how to do it), I'm wondering why it happens automatically in store over time.
