Can Apple Intelligence fix split albums in Apple Music Library?

I have many albums that I converted from CD's into the Apple Lossless Format in my personal Apple Music Library, I have edited the metadata periodically so the songs in any one album appear together but this is very tedious. Why isn't there a tool to fix this? Is it possible to use the new Apple Intelligence to fix my library? The library is on a Mac Mini, 2 MacBook Pro's and an iPhone Pro Max, all using the new M series chips.

  • Apple Intelligence cannot fix split albums — it has no access to Music metadata.
  • Album splitting happens due to inconsistent metadata between tracks or between devices.
  • The permanent fix is: set Album Artist, ensure identical metadata for all tracks, clear Sort fields, correct disc numbers, and rebuild your iCloud Music Library from a single Mac.
  • For large libraries, using a dedicated metadata editor like Yate is the best long-term solution.

Thank you for the response. Since Yate is not available in the APP store, I will definitely not purchase it. Any APP purchased in the APP store can be deleted in its entirety by simply deleting the icon. This isn't true of apps not from the App Store. For years I purchased TurboTax on a CD from Costco. Even after I deleted the programs, using their utility, I discovered that it left many files behind! Not only was this disturbing, but deleting these files manually from both my MacMini and MacBook Pro was extremely tedious.
