Apple Music/iTunes Replacing My Album Artwork

Hi. This might have been the case for a while, or maybe I'm just noticing it now that I'm trying Apple Music. In any event, I've noticed that my album artwork on my iPhone has been changing to images that I have never picked. I'm pretty meticulous about my album artwork, and I know what's correct for my albums. Is there a way to prevent this from happening and for my own album artwork to remain the way it is? Thanks.

iPhone 6, iOS 8, 8.0.2

If you go into the Music tab in the Settings app, you can disable the iCloud Music Library. That will prevent Apple Music from interacting with what's saved on your phone and changing any of the artwork. Albums that have already been changed may need to be resynced. This doesn't prevent you from streaming from Apple Music, though it does prevent you from saving streamed playlists for offline use. Hopefully there's a better workaround than this, because right now it seems the only option is to do this and isolate your on phone library from the streaming one, or allow them to intermix and end up with wrong album art and multiples of the same song, sometimes not even the correct version.
