I digitized my CD collection finally. It's about 500 CDs and after using the "Get Album Art" feature, over 200 of the CD's do not have album art in the Music app. Really? Aerosmith "Get a Grip" doesn't have artwork in the Apple universe? Green Day "American Idiot?" Guns N Roses "Greatest Hits?" Queen "Classic Queen" to name just a few. What can I do to get the album art fixed? (Other than manually insert the art?)
To retrieve album artwork from the iTunes Store for your entire library, choose File > Library > Get Album Artwork. Using the "Get Album Art" feature requires that all the metadata (on the CD) match exactly with Apple's music database including, number & length of tracks and what's in the Gracenote media database. The only other option is to manually insert the art.

Unfortunately, there are quite a few bugs and issues managing artwork if you use music you own since iTunes for Mac was retired. Always provide feedback here under Services/Apple Music, unfortunately there is no section to provide feedback for the Music App for OS and iOS.
