How do you get artwork for individual songs on the new iTunes 12.4.1.6?

So I use to be able to get album artwork for individual songs and now, I can't.

Anyone know how to fix this or is this hidden in ANOTHER drop down menu of drop down menu's???? 😠ℹ😕

Hello Sammeh1296,


Thanks for allowing us here in the Apple Communities a chance to answer your question. Looks like you are attempting to add artwork for songs. We will need more info to be able to offer the best options to solve this for you, but I will attempt to offer you some Apple official articles for the most common ways to resolve this.


The first thing we need to check is how you are receiving these songs. Are they synced from your computer using iTunes 11 or 12? Or are you using Apple Music, or are these songs synced through your iCloud Music Library, or iTunes Match? This article describes the iCloud Music Library:


Sync Apple Music across your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and computer


These two articles talk about the paid service iTunes Match:


Use iTunes Match on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Subscribe to iTunes Match


This last article talks about your Apple Music membership. You may have this paid service, even if you are not paying currently, because there is a 3 month free trial offered from Apple:


Manage your Apple Music membership on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC.


If you are not using any of those services and just sync the songs from iTunes on your PC, you will need to check one of these articles. Since I am not aware of what iTunes version you use, I am providing 2 articles. You will only need the one that applies to your iTunes version (iTunes 11 or iTunes 12):


iTunes 11 for Windows: Add artwork to songs and other items

iTunes 12 for Windows: Add artwork to songs and other items


Thanks again and please have an enjoyable rest of your day.

I had this question too but i figured it out. So in easier terms without the support nonsense


I have my Album art showing with the Album by Artist column. I right clicked a single song in that column and at the bottom it has "Get Album Artwork".


That is the only way I've found so far. Pretty simple. Would've been easier if they hadn't changed it. Hope that helped!
