Apple Music Not Sorting Artists Correctly

When I go to Sort - Artist, it will do 90% of the songs correctly but theres maybe 8 songs that don’t get placed correctly. Everything under Van Halen is obviously not correct.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

Thank you.


Where did the tracks in question originate? As an example, were they added to your library from Apple Music, purchased from the iTunes Store, or were they imported to the iTunes or Music app on a computer from other sources (like CDs)? This information can help us determine whether the issue might be local to your device, or if it might have to do with Apple servers.


If you do use Apple Music on other devices, does this issue also appear there? This information will help us determine if the issue is specific to your iPhone 13 Pro, or if it might be with the track metadata, or something on the Apple server side. In this instance, restarting all devices using Apple Music may help.


To help further isolate the issue from the Apple servers or your device(s), we can recommend using the troubleshooting in If you can't connect to the App Store, iTunes Store, or other Apple services - Apple Support. While the title of the article is specific to connecting to the Apple services, the steps can also address other types of communication and connectivity issues.


Best!

Hello SlappaAlpaca,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. Are you using Apple Music on another device? If so, we'd like to have you check if Sync Library is enabled, and if this persists on that other device. The steps to check are found in the Apple Support article: Use Sync Library to access your music library across your devices - Apple Support


How to turn on Sync Library on your iPhone or iPad
1. Make sure that your iPhone or iPad is signed in with the same Apple ID that you use with your Apple Music subscription.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Tap Music.
4. Turn on Sync Library.


We look forward to hearing back from you. 


Best regards!
