I'm on an iPhone 6s running iOS 9.3.5 and I love the Apple Music App with Full Album Artwork on both the lock screen and inside the actual app. I am realizing that I can't stay on 9.3.5 forever and at some point I'm going to have to upgrade.

I really dislike what Apple did by making your album artwork smaller on the music app for iOS 10 by adding a larger white border around the edge and then with iOS 11 it's still the same but then they removed the album artwork on the lock screen except for a super super small icon.

I'm sure iOS 12 is going to be more of the same...so I need to look for another option to migrate my iTunes library to...so what are my options of another music app on the iPhone that utilizes full album artwork?
 
It looks like with a bit of research I found what appears to look like the iOS 9 music app with full artwork in an app called Cesium. So if I decide to upgrade to iOS 11 or 12 I'll be sure to download that app as my dedicated music player. I also love the dark mode too.
