Album Cover in Playlist (at top) not updating

I have several playlists where the album artwork that appears at the top of the page is not updating. Each song and corresponding album within the playlist has been custom updated (I added) but artwork at top of playlist page is not updating. I have other playlists where it shows multiple album covers so they somehow updated but others haven't. How do I fix? Song artwork and album artwork is correct. Any help is appreciated.

Windows, Windows 10

BTW - I created a new playlist last night and the quad of first 4 songs albums covers appeared and were there until I migrated to a different screen and then back. When I came back they were there for an instant and then replaced with the pathetic Apple-supplied cover art. In addition when you look at existing playlists you will seen that the quad of album covers appear as an option in the edit function. This should be easy to fix I’d Apple gave a ****. They sure take our money for Apple Music.


This might be one of those occasions where it is worth trashing the artwork cache so that Music can rebuild it. The location is a hidden folder at ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.AMPArtworkAgent/Data/Documents where ~ is your user's home folder. With Music closed you would delete the Documents folder on that path, empty the trash, then launch Music. If all goes well it will rebuild your playlist thumbnails as they are supposed to be. Might be best to ensure you have a backup of this folder that you could restore in case that simply makes matters worse.
