Why are the artists icons in Apple Music blank, or don't match my albums? Reading this thread it seems Apple made another step backwards in capability with one of their applications. ALL of my music, which is 95% ripped from CDs I own, has album art. But now, in the application on my Mac, most of the artists have no visuals in their generic icon. How ridiculous.

Getting Album Artwork for your Entire Home Music Library in Apple Music:

or...
C. Manually Add Artwork:
To add your now image file or drag-and-drop one into the artwork area...
I appreciate the info, but I didn't ask about album artwork. I asked about the "artist icons". See attached. All of my albums have artwork b/c 95% of them are manually added from my own CD collection and I pulled all that data in myself. It used to be that those artist icons would use that artwork (or maybe those icons didn't exist in older versions of iTunes).

Thank you for the followup reply.
Thank you for the screenshot.
Adding Your Own Artist Artwork:
You Can't: Digging into this, for my own curiosity, I am told by Apple "Unfortunately, adding Album artwork is the only option to add artwork on your Mac. The Apple Music Subscription doesn't even provide this, if it is not available on the iTunes Store. So, if it were available, it would be added, but only with an Apple Music Subscriptions."
Recommend this to Apple:
Do Your Part: Being not an feature of the Music app, recommend this to Apple. Apple won't get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive on this, the more they will know wha their customer prefer and what features to include in updates to cone.
“done, but I didn't pick playlist b/c it's not related to the playlists. thanks”

You are welcome!
It all related to the Artist here. So, not an option, you might be able to add the same artwork to the albums. Add a text box with the artist name. Seems that that would make it all stand out.
