Apple Music syncs album artwork every time

The last post I saw on this is from spring. It is now October, and we are into OS 12.6, but iTunes still syncs the entire album art each time, even if there are no changes. Are there any fixes to that yet?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.6

Hi genieen16,


Thank you for answering. Unfortunately, your suggestions have nothing to do with my issue. Let me repeat: Each time I sync music between my Macbook Pro and my iPad, the ENTIRE artwork is transferred, even if there is only one album to sync.


All software is up to date; both Macbook and iPad a very recent.

Hello simplekindaguy,


Right now, you're able to change your Music preferences to automatically download album artwork. You can find out more info about this setting here: Change Advanced preferences in Music on Mac - Apple Support.

Automatically Update Artwork for Imported Songs
Automatically download artists’ images, album covers, and related artwork for music in your library.


If there are other settings you're looking for that are not currently available, take a moment to provide your feedback and suggestions to Apple. They accept feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple.


We hope this information helps you out.


Kind regards!
