Getting album artwork on iPhone

Using iTunes

You can also use iTunes to add album artwork to any of the songs in your library.

Why we don’t recommend using iTunes:

🔴 There’s a risk of losing your music library on your device;
🔴 You cannot add music from one library to another, only replace one another;
🔴 It won’t recover music you’ve acquired from CDs.

Run iTunes and find a song with no cover.
Right-click on the album cover and navigate to Album Info.
In the newly opened window, go to the Artwork tab, and click Add Artwork.
After you’ve chosen the artwork from your PC, it will be displayed in the song info menu.
To make changes to your iPhone, navigate to the iPhone icon in the top left corner of the window.
Tick the Sync Music box and click Apply to apply changes to your iPhone.
