My Question or Issue

i’ve downloaded a lot of songs through local files and put them all in the same playlist. when it finally finished downloading to my iPhone i noticed that there was no album cover for almost every song. i checked my laptop and all album covers was there and like 5 of the songs had their album covers on my iPhone. Did anyone have the same problem as me and how did you solve it? Thank you

Hey @sjdbjxkx,

When uploading tracks with album art, the best practice for mobile would be to have the tracks and their album art locally saved on the mobile device.
Everything should function properly if done this way.

The files could be stored anywhere (any folder) in the media storage space of your device. To enable the correct discovery of 'Local files' on your mobile, or other platforms, please check our FAQ page here.

Hey,

I've got the same issue. I've got the cover arts on windows spotify, but on my Iphone the album covers aren't there. The files are uploaded from my PC to a playlist.

I have got the songs on my IOS files too. 

Is there any way to fix this? It's not the end of the world, but for aesthetical purposes and IOS16 new features I would really like the song cover art. I've followed this solution, and checked other community posts but had no luck.

Many Thanks,

Harry
