Apple Music Displays the Wrong Album Art

So my iPhone SE was displaying the wrong album art for a number (though not all) songs. When I checked these albums on iTunes, all the songs had the correct album art. I tried deleting all the songs and then resyncing the playlist, but that didn’t fix the problem. A quick web search turned up the following tip from Reddit.

First delete the playlist, but before starting another sync from the computer, also turn off wi-fi and cellular communications. The easiest way to do this is to place the phone in Airplane mode. Then start the sync, and the correct album art should appear on the iPhone. Apparently this happens when syncing playlists.

What an annoying bug.

Yojimbo syncing via Dropbox

It can be done, but BBS doesn’t support it.

For reference, in case the link above breaks:

Instructions

To prepare your Yojimbo data for use with Dropbox, perform the following steps in order:

  1. Quit Yojimbo on all your machines.
  2. On your primary Mac, locate your Yojimbo data folder (/Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Yojimbo/) and move it into your Dropbox folder.
  3. Create a symlink named “Yojimbo” in the standard location (/Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/) which points to the actual location of your “Yojimbo” data folder within your “DropBox” folder.

    Assuming you placed the “Yojimbo” data folder directly within the “Dropbox” folder, you can do this by issuing the following Terminal command (on a single line; you can copy & paste it):

    ln -s ~/Dropbox/Yojimbo ~/Library/Application\ Support/

  4. Launch Yojimbo and make sure it still can access your data.
  5. Quit Yojimbo again, and wait until Dropbox has synced your entire Yojimbo data folder to your other machine(s)
  6. On each of your other machines:
    • Move the “Yojimbo” data folder which is currently within “/Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/” aside.
    • Create a symlink between the Yojimbo data folder in your Dropbox folder and the default location as in step 3 above.

At this point, you should be able to open Yojimbo and access your data on any machine, subject to the above caveat that it can only be open on one machine at a time.
