Regarding this process, YouTube Music arrives more in line with Spotify, which has provided this option for a long time.

The next feature will include a choice of any picture a user likes or just outputs a playlist from a search query, making it more recognizable by eyes.

Personalize Your Playlists YouTube Music Introduces Custom Image Feature!
Many users of YouTube Music have recently noticed that there is a pencil icon positioned in the lower right corner of the playlist art. This make-over also signifies an upcoming feature still in the development, for user’s to easily customize playlist cover. Clicking the pencil icon reveals two options: “Choose from library” and “Remove custom image”
The option, “Choose from library” allows a user select any image on their device, thus providing individuality to playlists. Once the image gets to be selected, it is possible to crop to the thumbnail size so that the artwork seems like intended. This makes it easier to include a picture, cover art or any picture that relates to whatever the user’s mode is at the moment.
The second option “Remove custom image” just undoes the operation and the playlist gets the cover it had before you uploaded any image. It also has an advantage of providing for the users the possibility of going back to default look or changing/artwork at any one time. For the users, which have their routines changed by the pandemic, or to the ones which finally decided to customize the player for their preferences, YouTube Music provides the additional option of changing the interface depending on the current situation.
If a custom image is posted, the background updates to the newly posted artwork of the user without further ado. It is important because such an update allows the process of customization to be as easy as possible for the user. For only a few clicks users can turn their playlists into visually distinguishable lists.
This new feature is an attempt of providing the users with a power to control their streaming destiny. Introducing basic yet effective customization features for users, YouTube Music is gradually moving closer to rivals such as Spotify and offering more features targeted at fans of music.
Your Music, Your Way YouTube Music Hints at Custom Playlist Images!
This is because the recently released custom image on YouTube Music has been received well, especially by those looking for other custom artwork images apart from the ones that are AI made. As requested more often, this option enables the users to foreground insert images that would fit their favorite tunes better. It points to a trend that some users want to be more unique in the streaming world.
However, some level of ambiguity is left behind concerning the presence of this feature for canonical lists of preferred music. At this time, the AI-created artwork is not in these lists, raising questions as to if fans will have that level of customization for favorite songs. That is why some users have been left hanging in regards to this aspect due to its lack of clear definition.
Until now, the feature is not widely released and has not yet reached many users. Still, YouTube Music lacks a specific date of its launch, and this makes fans and potential users even more excited about this new feature. Sequential addition of features is typical for app development, but many start asking when they will be able to use it.
Such a decision might be taken in cases where there are test and feedback stages to guarantee a good experience for the users in case the feature is fully implemented. It might just be possible that YouTube Music is right now engaged in tweaking the services for as long as the service is still in beta. For now, users can only follow the announcements on when they can start personalizing those favorite playlists.
For now, this feature shows that YouTube Music is willing to listen to the users and improve on their platform. Since the importance of personalizing the content is being felt, one can expect more changes and improvements in the future to be incorporated in the service to improve its stance in the stream service market. Fans should expect the new experience especially for those who use YouTube Music for listening to music, as it gets better.
