Apple’s album art has been janky for me for 20 years. I’m sure it would be less noticeable if I had mostly mainstream music tastes, but after years of doing album art manually, Apple screwed it all up multiple times and I stopped caring as much about fighting around the time I gave in and started streaming more music.
- anentropic 5y agoYeah it seems to randomly "forget" it
- reaperducer 5y agoApple’s album art has been janky for me for 20 years My wife and I sync music from the same Apple Music library. On her iPhone, the album artwork is completely random. On my iPhone, it's always correct. No amount of wiping the phone, or even upgrading to new phones, will change this. Apple Music just hates her.
- lukifer 5y agoI feel your pain: I have a large and meticulously tagged collection, and when I upgraded to a new iPhone, it seems to have hit "shuffle" on every single album art, even after I nuked it all and did a fresh sync. It's incredibly bizarre.
- ungamedplayer 5y agoThis is going to sound weird, but is your wifes phone set to a non US english (even something like australian/british english) language ? I found the same problem with my phone a long time ago for a non US english account. Once i had that configured differently than what my setting was on the app store it would do all kinds of stupid things with the artwork.

- creeble 5y agoYes, one of my favorite jankinesses is that iTunes would put a timestamp in the jpeg header of the embedded artwork for every m4a file, ensuring that a hash of the artwork (for a library system that tried to minimize duplicate artwork) would always be unique. So you’d have a visually-identical but duplicate artwork file for every song on the album.
