Apple Music no longer shows album artwork on playlists

Just now had the same experience… it stopped working on the Mac… frustrating.

The iPhone solution still works for me; I suppose this is because I am still on iOS 16.

It’s NOT SOLVED. The process you’re talking about is the old way. It’s is not resolved.

Agree! I want the original album art, not those boring Apple designs! I don’t like any of them!

They need to fix this asap

This has been patched it no longer works. The 4 tile album format stays for just a few seconds then changes back to a generic cover.

Wow, it worked!

exactly they should at least give us the option to choose 😩😩

I agree the ability to have album art is much better especially for those like myself who have many playlist. Also the preselected art is not cool it’s boring and unoriginal. Go back!!

This did not work for me. It still displays generic boring “art”. It works for a second, it displays the album, but then it automatically reverts to the new abstract gradients.

Thanks for your info. It does work on my iPhone!

Ironically, on a Mac when you go to Settings > Wallpaper the first tile (the one with the shuffle arrows) for folders with multiple images is… a 4-quadrant image with the first 4 wallpapers! See screenshot. This is perfect, like Music’s playlists used to be. Pls bring it back, Apple...

After 4 attempts of transferring in excess of 40Gb of songs, artwork still doesn't appear on my iPhone! Very frustrating!!

Please bring back the album covers it helps me remember what playlist is what

Please bring this functionality back to devices, at least as one of the options.

Hi Bob, 

It's perplexing that this doesn’t work for you because using MacOS Sonoma 14 it works flawlessly for me. I've included an image below with screenshots of the steps I took; although you may have already tried these steps, they might help to demystify the issue.

Let me walk you through the image:

1. In Apple Music's 'Today’s Hits’, I clicked to add the first four songs to a new Playlist. The New Playlist window pops up.

2. In the popup window, click the playlist artwork arrow to the left and select the red Plus icon.

3. Enter the playlist name (in this case, I used 'Hits').

4. In my case, next the playlist is created with artwork.

Since the first four songs were all from the same source, their images were identical so I then added three more songs with different Album art (this is not shown in the screenshots below), and lo and behold, we now have four images in the playlist artwork!

If you did exactly the same steps, I am puzzled why it doesn’t work for you.
