Hi billmk,


When version of MacOS Catalina are you running?


According to the release notes of MacOS Catalina 10.15.2, Apple addressed the album artwork issue for Music. See below:

– Restores the column browser view for managing the music library

– Resolves an issue that may prevent album artwork from appearing

– Fixes an issue that may reset music equalizer settings during playback


If you haven't updated to 10.15.2 I would recommend it as it might address your issue. After I upgraded and launched music it immediately started redownloading album artwork. Before the update, some albums had artwork and others didn't.


I hope this helps.
