music artwork missing

I just copied my Music library of 1.4tb from my iMac M1 running Ventura 13.4 to a hard drive. I then imported it to my older iMac running Monterey 12.6.6. All of the albums are now on the old iMac, but not all of the artwork shows up when I look at recently added. However, if I play a song in one of those albums without the artwork showing, the artwork shows up in the song. How can I get the artwork to show up when viewing the albums?

Do not say to click get album art as many of the albums are live shows that are not listed in the database, and I have tagged albums including the artwork myself. I know it is there, but just do not know why it does not show up in album view.

iMac 21.5″, macOS 12.6

Stupid question, since I'm not in front of your machine, but for me, this step will be the start of the troubleshooting.

Can you see the artwork on each of album the tracks if you open "Get Info"?

I'm also into a lot of non-commercial music, custom albums, etc., without artwork on any database that has been made and/or added manually, and this problem might be coming after me too.

When I play an individual song, I can see the artwork. But when I look at the album, it does not show. This is not on all albums, but on many. I made the mistake of asking to "get album artwork" and many of what showed up was the same artwork for many of the albums by the same artist. It changed the artwork that was not showing on an album but was there on an individual song. I have since deleted everything and starting over adding the music from the hard drive which takes a while due to the size.
