exporting itunes playlist to apple music w/o change

I have a new Honda with Android Music. I moved a playlist from my iTunes account on my PC into a Spotify Playlist. Spotify has changed years of collecting original Album Art for songs and changed versions of the songs in my playlist. ****** off does not nearly describe it. So my question is, if I switch to Apple Music and transfer my playlists from my iTunes (also stored in my iClouds account former iTunes Match) will Apple Music keep my original art work associated with the song and keep the song version I have and want.


Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hello TRN342,


The Apple Music service would work in the same way. When you switch to the Apple Music service and already have songs in your library, they will be replaced with the high quality version from the Apple Music catalog. If a song is not available in the Apple Music catalog, then it will be uploaded through iCloud so it is available outside of your iTunes library (on other devices like an iPhone, iPad, etc.) The same is true for album artwork, when songs are replaced with the Apple Music version, the album art from the catalog is also associated with them unless the song is not available in the catalog. Then again, just like the actual audio file, the image you have saved to that item in your iTunes library will be uploaded through iCloud with the song.

Cheers!
