Music artwork gone completely crazy. Any pointers how to fix this? iPhone 17 (iOS 26.6.2)

Music artwork gone completely crazy on my iPhone 17 (iOS 26.6.2). Tried what others have suggested e.g. deleted all the music (via general<iphone storage, then deleted the Music app, then re-installed the Music app, then re-synced the music with cable/iMac but it's still a complete mess. Any pointers would be very welcome. What a bummer for a new expensive phone to create such a mess!!!MuMu

Sync with no music to get Finder to clear all on the iPhone, restart both, and then sync the desired music?

Thanks for suggesting but yes I did and it did not change anything. Artwork is still completely messed up. And it seems every time I connect it with my iMac music library it gets worse. It is the strangest thing.

I should add that the music library on my iMac is completely fine and the artwork is as it should be. Also, artwork of songs that I have purchased from apple are affected as well as songs that I uploaded from CDs.
