Some album art missing when syncing local music to iPhone

I manage my local music with Music.app, and sync them with my iPhone. I recently changed a phone and synced the whole music library to it in one go, however a lot of album arts are missing, changing the specific ones and sync works (like remove album cover in Music.app, sync, add back album cover, sync again), but it's impossible to do it for all of them, I guess I can remove all music on my iPhone and sync again, but it'll take a long time (~200G music) and I'm not sure if it'll still be missing album covers. What should I do?

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 16

Hey there Voyga,


Congrats on getting your new iPhone! That is a strange thing to occur, especially since the album art is showing still within your Mac Music library. While you may need to try syncing the songs again from your Mac to your iPhone, we'd like to first help by ruling out some possible causes, along with learning more about what's happening:


  1. Have you noticed any kind of pattern for the songs are do have the missing album art, or does it appear to only be random as to which ones are missing it?
  2. Sometimes unexpected behavior can be resolved with a restart. Check out Restart your iPhone and the section ‘Restart your Mac' here: Shut down or restart your Mac
  3. Since you have a compatible iPhone model, the latest version is iOS 16.5.1. You can verify this within Settings > General > About. In case you needed it, this link shows how to first back up, then update: Update your iPhone or iPad While we see you already have macOS Ventura 13.0 installed, the latest version is macOS Ventura 13.4.1. You can verify this by clicking on the Apple logo at the top left corner of the screen, then on ‘About This Mac’. In case you needed it, this link shows how to first back up, then update: Update macOS on Mac


Cheers!
