Apple Music/iTunes Replacing My Album Artwork

I have noticed that some of the misplaced album covers are just simple mistakes that could be easily fixed. I spend hours researching music and its history. If Apple Inc. would like a dedicated music lover to work out the details and ensure correct details are applied to Apple Music content, I'm your guy!!

This is still happening. Here's a bizarre example: The artwork for Ben Harper's 'Burn To Shine' album is correct when I select it from the library, but when the last song 'In The Lord's Arms' plays the artwork changes to something called 'The Bridge Collection'. Clearly this is not just some bug, but systemic failure. It's been years now since Apple Music failures were first brought to the attention of the company. Apple has a wealth of feedback contributed for free by people who want the product to improve. But Apple don't ...

When I play a song from a different device, it plays a different song. E.g an unreleased song remix to that original song. When I play the remix onto the device I’ve synced it to with iTunes, works perfectly. Please help!

I have seen the same thing happen, not cool.

This is happening to me too. And I don't see a way to disable it.

I'll be downgrading to 8.3 tonight....this is not acceptable.

Yes same thing happening to me / there must be a way to disable this stupid setting - not impressed Apple!!!

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.

the sames happening to me!! Some of the artwork being replaced isn't even for the right artist! I spent ages doing all my album art, how do I cancel it?

I admit that I am protective of my album art, I've got no problem if Apple Music updates them with the correct image - however, Apple Music is going through specific albums and replacing a single piece of album art with many different ones.

**** Freezes Over by The Eagles has had every single song replaced with a different image, only one song actually has the cover of **** Freezes Over. This is f'd up.

So Apple Music is actually incorrectly adding album art to the wrong albums and tracks...

Pulse by Pink Floyd has been replaced by the image for "A Collection of Dance Songs", Run Like **** from Delicate Sound of Thunder (live album) has been replaced by the cover for The Wall.

Something's actually wrong.

I Have the same issue, I don't want to downgrade as I really like apple music generally but i am very particular about album artwork and would appreciate it if someone could let me know if there is a way of getting around this

thanks

The only way around this right now is to turn off (in settings) "iCloud Music Library", this just means you can't play your Apple Music in offline mode though.

The only fix I can see coming for this is that a new setting is introduced that allows non-Apple Music music to not have album art and tracks changed.

As an early Zune Music Pass user, there was a specific setting in there which allowed non-subscription music to not have album art and tracks changed. This needs to be introduced on this.

I wouldn't mind if Apple Music played around with my album art, but just as long as it's correct. At the moment it's replacing them with incorrect album art.

Same thing here. Really dissapointed because by switching off iCloud Music Library, I cant access the albums I've downloaded over the course of today unless I search them and stream them, which might be an annoyance if Im somewhere with poor signal.

Hopefully Apple fix this asap, or provide an option at least :/

After syncing my iPhone back again with cloud sync turned off I now have hundreds if not most albums now displaying blank artwork.

Same for me. Missing and incorrect artwork through my library. Random, permanent edits to my files, on my hard drive. It's iTunes Match: The Sequel.

I can't believe they haven't fixed basic problems that have been plaguing paying customers for over three years now.
