Deleting Artwork in Music on Catalina Hello! I added a second artwork image to one song, now I want to delete the one that I don't like and use the other one but it doesn't work at all?? I tried right clicking on the image, since this used to work before updating to Catalina when the Music App still was iTunes. But now it doesn't. I also tried removing the image from the folder where Music stores them but this doesn't work either. Anyone has an idea?

Music yes I have search the webs and everything I found is to complex or really doesn't answer my question. So simple question when you let Music/Itunes organize your files does it do anything to the files you already tagged in the get info menu, as well as the artwork ? Does it wipe it clean or leave it alone and if its blank , does it just add to it? Thanks

Album Artwork - Cant Delete Im having some issues and as I have now just upgraded from MacOS 10.13: High Sierra to the new MacOS 10.15: Catalina and im finding the new layout of iTunes and photos strange as for the past 10 years I have been using the much older versions. The problem im having is with my playlists on iTunes with album artwork. When I was using the old iTunes and putting stuff into my playlists I could go into "Get Info" and rename the track, Put the Year, Genre, Artist, Album and any other info I wanted. Now if I add a track / song to my playlist I can not delete the album work that comes with the track where as before I could. I have not seen anything online about this or how to do it and its now becoming a PITA. I have clicked, Doubled clicked, two finger clicked and even plugged a mouse into my MacBook to try that but it does not give me the delete option like it did before. When I do click on it there is a grey box that highlights round the artwork as seen in the picture below.

You can make that setting in the View menu. Note that it will have to be done for each playlist:
