> Who are Apple to say I can’t put another artists photo on my album?

Are you not able to purchase music and import to the Music app with whatever metadata you want?

I am not posing a rhetorical question, I do not have experience with the Music app outside of using the Apple Music subscription service so I would like to know if they do restrict these kinds of things.

I'm not OP, but yes it is possible to import arbitrary music into the Apple Music app with whatever cover art and other metadata you want. It's as easy as dragging in a folder of normal, tagged FLAC or MP3 files and it will use the metadata in them to group into albums etc.

It's also user-configurable whether the app will move your files into its folder and organization scheme or just leave them alone where you put them.

Then I am not seeing the problem.
