Q: Artist Photos Missing in iTunes 12.5.1

Sep 19, 2016 8:30 AMby Liatron,I'm going to. However. Apple going back on anything they've changed is always extremely unlikely. Once it's changed, it usually sticks. I don't mind the Artist Photos, I like'd it on iOS 9 where it showed the full band above the artist view on iOS, but it's pointless if it doesn't show the photo on iOS above artist view, and it's even more pointless if it doesn't even grab the photos.
It's not even that hard to do. All they have to do is add a picture of that artist to a folder with the artist id.
Paramore are artist ID 75950796.
All they have to do is make a folder somewhere, and create an artist image with the name 75950796.png
if they're lazy anyway, it's stupid that it doesn't work.

In words, the artwork looks fine - but there may be circular iOS microphone gifs that accompany each artist. As Liatron mentioned, Apple doesn't change things like this too often - especially if it's at the Golden Master stage. Feedback is your best option. http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

Crazy thing is ive apple products coming out of my ears, I love them but as a company, customer service is Dire. there had to be a reasonable explanation? They are too busy adding stupid emojis and thinking we'll all love them? I spend a lot of time on my library and want it right.

The last version with square shape looked better than these rounded ones. So unprofessionally designed GUI.
They should rather give us an option to have a larger album art when you click the thumbnail near progress bar. It is still not big enough if all we want to see is an album art on full screen with some basic controls.
Also to have lyrics display option in the right click menu would be great, rather than going through get info options.

GET US BACK THE ARTIST COVER IMAGES INSTEAD OF THOSE ****** MICROPHONE ICONS!

Sep 19, 2016 5:54 PMby MikeApex,I honestly think this was an oversight. They are trying to merge commonality with the iPhone and I think they only tested downloaded music and not ripped music. The developers probably don't rip music on their development machines. They need to be more thorough in their testing but I am sure they will fix this if we just take the time to submit Feedback. Use the feedback assistant if you are Beta Tester if not: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Sep 19, 2016 6:14 PMby MarechalFerrant,More than half of the artists of my music library has this stupid microphone icon instead of a picture now.
I am a member of Apple Music, so it's not a purchase thing.
Why can't we just choose an album cover art of the artist like before??! Why is this so complicated?
And why a small circle now? We can hardly see the picture!
Man, so disappointing.
I hope this is a bug.
