Playlist album art change is TERRIBLE

This has been noted on both the Music iOS app and the iTunes Mac/Windows app and this is a terrible change. I like to add a full album to a playlist so I have it easily accessible. Before today, anytime I add a playlist, it automatically displays the album cover. Now it is showing a generic blurred image with the artist and album name overlayed, even though only one album and one album cover is present. It looks like this:

There is no reason for this and as far as I can see, there is no way to change it without manually selecting an album cover image from my computer hard drive. Even more frustrating is that when I initially add the album to a playlist, it does initially show the proper album art, but if I switch to another playlist and then switch back, it is replaced with this blurred image.


There is no excuse for this change. It is a terrible update and it needs to be changed, now. I might fully switch over to Spotify due to this change. Change this update now.

Ya we all did that, but thanks. We come here to vent and see that other agree. 👍🏻


it's a stinky move and I for one quite frankly think whom ever is the person that allowed to remove album art on playlists, at least as an option with the new idea should be kicked out, let go, dropped like a hot potato! I'm sick of changes that just take away from us.
