Apple Music album artwork not showing?

Not sure why there is not an APPLE solution to this yet (or at least I cannot find one posted) but I did find a fix for this bug myself.

This issue she seems to be centered around “downloaded music”. Whenever I added new albums, the artwork wold not show up until I went into “downloaded music”, selected an album, and did delete > remove downloads. Sometimes I had to do a few, but all the recent added albums artwork would magically show up.

Everytime this issue occurred again, I would just delete a downloaded album (again just the stored music, not remove from library).

So naturally I got to the point where artwork was not showing up, but I had nothing left to remove from downloads. The solution to this is super dumb, and proves something very BUGGY is going on.

Select an album in your library. Downloaded it to phone. Once it’s done. Delete the downloads. All the blank album artwork showed up instantly.

Apple. Fix this crap...

Try to keep your device(s) updated. I tried turning apple music and icloud on and off.. nothing changed. I updated my phone and was happy to see all my music back with their thumbnails!

Had the same problem since updating to IOS 12. Freeing up storage seems to restore all the album artwork.

Tried the recommended action, didn’t work. It’s only happening on my phone and only with music that I’ve added since updating to iOS 12, everything already in my library prior to updating still has its artwork. Below is how it’s displaying.

I am experiencing the exact same issue. Additionally, whenever I listen to music via Bluetooth, the audio sounds low quality. Sometimes the album art loads, sometimes it doesn’t. I’ve tried listening via Bluetooth on my MacBook and iPad, but they sound perfectly fine, therefore I know it’s not the headphones that I’m using that make the audio sound so bad. Any help would be great, really considering switching to Spotify, even though I love Apple Music.

i did what everyone said to do, which was turning the icloud music on and off and the first few times i did it it worked, but i did it again and now a majority of the artwork for ALL the music on my library is gone.

I'm having this exact same issue. but even when I restart my phone the album covers still don't show up. It's gotten to the point that even my playlist don't have a cover and every song/ album I've added lacks and album cover. I'm not sure what to do...

I recently updated to iOS12 and I tried everything suggested in this thread. Didn't work for me either. However when I switched both apple music and iCloud library on and off in settings, the album art loaded properly. So try that.

In addition to what has already been stated, when I add music to my library and the album art is not displayed, I cannot download the album. It doesn’t matter how many times I try, the download will continue to fail.

I also freed up storage space on my phone after having no success with any of the other methods mentioned, and the artwork finally came back. I went from about 1Gb free to 3.3Gb free and that did the trick

We have the same problem. I don’t know how to fix it, I’ve tried all the suggestions here but it didn’t work...

I was in the same problem I think about erasing my profile, it works but happened again, I try your method and it helped man!, thx.

You need to:

remove all downloaded music in the Music app

(only if you downloaded it from Music to iPhone. if you only added it to the library ignore this step)

• switch off iCloud Music Library in both iPhone settings and iTunes
• backup iPhone to computer or iCloud or both through iTunes
• restore iPhone to factory settings through iTunes
• restore iPhone to the backup though iTunes
• turn iCloud Music Library back on in both iTunes and iPhone settings
• Update iCloud Music Library through iTunes
• sync iPhone through iTunes

Open the Music app on iPhone - all the artwork will be back.
