Classical not listing Works, Composers correctly

I can't work out with this is a fault or by design: in Music Classical, under Library all my added albums and tracks populate from my Apple Music Library. However, Artists, Recordings, Works and Composers are all empty, or only populated with the few artists I've favourited. This (to me) makes no sense: that should be the function of a favourites list. What I'd expected, and want, is all artists to be listed, all composers of works I've added, all recordings etc.


What functionality is anyone else seeing?

Yeah I feel the same currently. It is very new though so maybe these things will be addressed.

My current suspicion is that it’s something to do with when I’ve imported cd’s and then often changed the album information to my liking, such as artist, album artist, dates, titles etc. something I do particularly with classical music. It then doesn’t match up with what Apple Classical database is.

I’m slightly confused by what it’s showing and not showing.


All I get is a handful of albums listed under Albums. Some of which are ‘sort of’ from my Apple Music library. Some albums are different versions to what I have in my main music library. I have 3 playlists picked out from my Music Library although they don’t show all what’s in the playlists. For some reason it’s shows a Peggy Lee playlist I made but nothing is in it. This clearly isn’t classical music though so not sure why it shows it at all.

The rest of the library sections show nothing like you said above. Nothing in: Tracks, Artists, Recordings, Works or Composers.


Note: The way I’ve used my Apple Music as I’m still ‘old school’ is I’ve imported all my cd collection which then gets either Matched or Uploaded in Apple Music. I then add music that I don’t own on cd but just listen to from Apple Music in to separate playlists.
