Unable to add album art to my music in Apple Music on Windows

Im not sure what’s causing the issue. I have two different albums, that I cant add album art to no matter what I try. I even import one of my friend’s files that was working and the art still wouldn’t show up.

Issues with album art in iTunes for Windows iTunes for Windows 12.12.6.1 (latest) seems unable/unwilling to add album art to my .mp3 files. I'm taking some time and "re-doing" my music library and updating several lower-bitrate files. The tags on these files are all accurate, and the album art is written to the tag as well as stored in the same folder as the .mp3 file. Despite these steps I've taken, there are a great many files with no album art. I can go into the file info, go to the artwork tab, click add artwork, browse to the file, click open, click ok...but nothing changes. Still no album art. In many cases, iTunes cannot find album art either, though these are not obscure tracks, but I suspect this is a separate issue. I cannot imagine why I am not able to add a locally stored image as album art to a locally stored .mp3. The files all "belong" to me from an OS (fully updated Windows 10 fwiw) level permissions perspective. Anything I'm missing/anything I can try?

Album artwork missing after importing iTunes library to Music Hi, I've imported my iTunes library into Music (on Monterey), and all the music and playlists seems to be there, but alas, the album artwork is missing. (Strangely enough, a few small album artwork "thumbs" actually appear at the top of the window when playing, but nowhere else.) Maybe I've done something wrong in the process? First I converted the iTunes library into Music library (with the kind help from turingtest2), and put the new Music Library file into the Music folder. Then I put the iTunes Music folder into the Media folder (called "Medier" on my Mac), and renamed it from "iTunes Music" to "Music". I would rather not download the album artwork automatically, I'm afraid it will create a mess. (I have a lot of manually imported album covers.) Does anyone have a solution? How can I get the Music app to find/import the Album artwork?

Music library transfer & album artwork Hello, I imported my music library from my old macbook using itunes to my new macbook using the "music app". The import went well and the itl file from itunes could be used with the "music app". The issue is that album artworks are not showing in Music. Actually they are showing in the minimized picture on the right hand side of the play button, but none of the artwork is showing while browsing the app. The mp3 files are also displaying the artwork, so it seems the data is there somewhere but "music app" cant see it. Is there any way to get music app to show album artworks properly ? Thanks

See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows - Apple Community. The same potential issues there will also affect Apple Music. E.g. you cannot add artwork to locked files, where you don't have write access, or untagged files such as those in .wav format.
