Apple Music no longer shows album artwork on playlists
Hi All, anyone else noticed this issue since the last Apple update?
Now when creating a new playlist, of either an album or a compilation, cover artwork does not get updated and show (adding to Library does allow artwork but you still can't then transfer this to your playlist).
Instead on Playlists it defaults to a standard colour 'design' which has nothing to do with the original album or artist.
I contacted apple support who advised this was to make it more aesthetic and pleasing, and that there is no option to revert to have album artwork.
Is it just me, but surely most music lovers would much prefer to see album artwork rather than an impersonal and featureless design on their playlists - or at the very least have the option to choose this.
The design patterns and colours vary but not by much, so if you have lots of playlists as I do, they're all going to look pretty much the same and difficult to distinguish (very boring also!)
All other competitors Spotify, Qobuz etc I'm aware of allow album artwork on their playlists
Be interested what others think - if you agree submit feedback to Apple in the hope they change it back! Product Feedback - Apple
I'm a loyal apple user have used music for years, but seriously if this issue if not fixed I'll be transferring to another platform
