Apple Music no longer shows album artwork on playlists

I couldn't agree with you more regarding displaying album cover artwork on playlists. This is a ridiculous idea. I would prefer to see album artwork than Apples non-creative "aesthetic and pleasing" solution.

The colors and fonts used are so pedestrian and boring. Wow. As someone who works as a creative, it's astonishing that Apple, who I've always held in high esteem regarding design, would perpetuate such a truly uninteresting solution.

I'm seriously invested in iTunes and it's extremely disappointing.

Also, their decision to keep that displayed closed, and not give an option to display artwork, is a huge slap in the face to loyal users of Apple Music/iTunes.

Yes, I think this is a very important point. Apple employees don't spend their time reading through the forum posts but they do get to see the Product Feedback from users. There's no guarantee that anything will change but at least we're then making our opinions heard in the right place and obviously, the more people who do complain and politely explain why they are unhappy, the more likely they are to take notice.

To narrow it down here's the link to where you can leave feedback on the Music app.

I could not hate this downgraded “feature” more than I do. It screams, “we don’t want to pay for something, so this was our garbage solution to keep money in Apple’s pocket.”

this is a very bad idea, Apple.

I feel exactly the same way about this, it’s very frustrating. I’ve submitted feedback about this to Apple and have included a link to this forum; you’d like to think that they then can’t possibly fail to acknowledge this forum when a customer clearly points it out!

…well, unless the Apple Music team exercise ignorance in dealing with feedback!

SOLVED! On an iMac, you have the option of duplicating an old playlist, which contains artwork. Once duplicated, add new music and delete the old songs from the original playlist. Duplicated playlist will continue showing artwork like before.

Your welcome. ;-)

Genius Solution! Labor intensive, but so satisfying!!!

So, Apple...when you see thousands of us doing all this work to get what we want (while being ****** off about having to do extra work) would you PLEASE consider reverting to not fixing the thing that wasn't broken?!

Whoever told you that was mistaken. Apple doesn't read here for feedback or suggestion

Do u work there?

No one participating in the forum works for Apple.

Do u have the secret handshake?

Product Feedback - Apple

I don’t think anyone from Apple reads these discussion groups. Submitting feedback via the official feedback links at Apple.com is the way to register displeasure with this change.

Worked for 2 seconds then switched to the greyscale

So many negative responses and Apple just ignores it!

Agreed - the new playlist artwork is horrible. Bring back the 4-Squared Playlist artwork!

Lossless audio is the only thing keeping me on Apple Music. It’s so buggy. Then stuff like this makes me think what the **** are they thinking. Are there music fans working for them? Likely not.
