Bug in ios 7 music app

Hello community,
I have a problem with the ios 7 iphone 5 music app.
I have a lot of albums with various artists. The various artists are in the wrong genre... For example genre->classical->various artists->Dr.Dre albums...
All various albums are in every genre...
The music app in ios 6 was perfect, i want all functions in ios 7 !!!
Please fix it !

I am really hoping this is not intentional and is fixed a.s.a.p.
Speaking of, does anyone know why the artist photo is sometimes reperesented by one of the album covers (if there is more than one album) and other times a picture of the actual band is used? I am noticing that after 7.1, a lot of the pictures that were album covers before are now pictures of the members of the band (generic photos not picked by me), which is equally as obnoxious as the albums being reverse chronological order. *** is going on here?

  • IOS Music app: Album and Artist bugs

    My iPod touch (5th generation, iOS 7.1.1) has several bugs in its Music app. Here is how I was able to reproduce the bugs.
    Go to the Artists view.
    Select an artist from an album with multiple artists. (Example album: The Lego Movie; example artist: Will Arnett)
    Go to the Albums view.
    Select the same album from step 2.
    BUG 1: The album only shows the song by that artist. I should see all songs on the album. In addition, the duration of all songs in the album is limited to the song I see, rather than all songs on the album. (When connected to the Internet, "Show Complete Album" appears. [Screenshot] Tapping it invites me to download all of the other songs in the album, which I already have.)
    Go to the Artists view.
    Select another artist from the same album from step 2. (Example artist 2: Mark Mothersbaugh)
    BUG 2: I only see songs by the artist in step 2, rather than songs by the artist I selected. [Screenshot]
    Go to the Albums view.
    Close and re-start the iOS Music app.
    Select the same album from step 2. I see all of the album's songs again.
    Go to the Artists view.
    Select an artist from the same album as in step 2.
    BUG 3: I see the entire album, rather than just the songs by the selected artist. In addition, the artist at the top of the screen is the artist of the first song in the album. [Screenshot]
    Can anyone else confirm this bug? Also, what is the best way to report this bug to Apple?

    Unfortunately, the 15-minute edit deadline on my original post passed, so I need to make the following correction here:
    "Can anyone else confirm this bug? Also, what is the best way to report this bug to Apple?"

  • IOS Music app forgets playback position for audiobooks

    The iOS music app on my phone repeatedly is losing playback position for audiobooks. I go to the Music app > Audiobooks > BookTitle  and get to a menu where I see part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, and part 1 says, below the title/author listing, says
    8:53:58  6hr 49 min left
    And I touch the title to start it playing, and it shows the little red marker on the progress bar at about the right position for 2 hours having been played, and as often as not, there is a little flash and then the red marker is back at the far left side and it starts playing again at the beginning. 
    These are books from various sources--today's example was a Librivox download, others have been books on CD, and checking in iTunes verifies that they have been correctly coded as audiobooks and 'remember playback position' is automatically checked.
    It's a PITA hunting through an 8 hour long recording with only the crude control of the little progress bar and 15 second skip forward/back to find the spot I left off.
    It doesn't happen with the same titles in iTunes on the computer. 

    Clicked reply by accident, and now can't edit the post. 
    Has anyone else seen the same problem?
    These are books from CDs or librivox recordings, linked into one or a few multiple-hour files with Join Together.  I have never bought an audiobook from iTunes so don't know if those are handled better.

  • Music Start/Stop Times with iTunes Match causes iOS Music App to glitch

    I set Start Time and Stop Time values for my music in iTunes to crop off non-music parts of tracks, but the Start/Stop Times cause the iOS Music app to glitch out when the track streams via iTunes Match. If a track has a Start Time set, the track will get stuck, and repeat the first fraction of a second of the track over and over, seemingly for the amount of the Start Time. And if the Stop Time is set, the NEXT track will glitch out. For example, if a track has a Start Time of 0:10, the track will glitch out for at least 10 seconds before the track actually starts playing. Sometimes the track never stops advances beyond 0:00.
    I think the problem caused by the fact that iTunes Match is streaming the entire track so the Music app just freaks out for the duration of the Start/Stop Times.
    Has anybody else experienced this? Is there a workaround?
    For now, I've just been searching my 22,000 song library for tracks with Start/Stop Times and exporting new hard-cropped files, but this is tedious, takes up hard drive space, and degrades the audio with lossy-to-lossy double-compression.

    I'm having the exact same problem and from my research I believe that the old process of being able to turn ITM off, sync your music to your iPad, and then turn ITM back on no longer work.  You are correct that going through this process wipes out your music.  It's only on IOS 6.0 on my Gen 3 ipad because on my gen 1 iPad, I can't upgrade to IOS 6.0 and the old process still works fine under IOS 5.0. 
    In order to get around this I created a massive playlist (a superset of all my other playists) that I downloaded by using the download button in order to get local copies of my music on my ipad 3.0. 
    It seems to be working for now but I can't force my ipad to keep all that music local anymore.  If I download other music or movies in the future (and become low on space) Apple makes the decision about what to remove from my local copy in order to fit the new content on the device. 

  • Why do lists flicker and jump in iOS Music app with iTunes match?

    I recently signed up for iTunes match.  I have a large library on iTunes on my Mac and I'm using iTunes Match to sync it to my iPhone 4S running iOS 7.
    However now every list in the iOS Music app now constantly flickers and flashes.  The album artwork flashes blank for a moment and then returns.  It's as if the list is constanly updating.  This happens about every 2 seconds.
    Even worse... in playlists the entire list jiggles up and down.  Again about every 2 seconds.
    Does anyone else have the same problem?   Is there a solution?

    I don't know what the issue is, have had it since I have had match, and am thinking of ditching it because of it.  Now, after deleting and replacing a whole slew of my music with the wrong songs, have the stuff won't play or download from match, even stuff I buy in iTunes. It's ridiculous. Apple should be paying me to be losing my media by using match. It's driving me CRAZY!

  • A bug in the Music App in iOS 6.1

    I'm on an Iphone 5 running iOS 6.1. Is this happening only to me?
    I'm looking for a song by Janis Ian on the Music App, and as you can see in the capture, there aren't any songs by her in the library (after Janet Jackson is Jarcha)... but if I search for her name, it appears!!... any clue? I'm also using iTunes Match.

  • Possible Bug/s with Music app

    I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but on my TouchPad none of my album art shows up in the preview mode when selecting a song.  All but two albums will show up in full screen mode, the first bad one just gives a black box and thesecond one shows it sees no album art at all.  When loaded in HP Play all the songs show the have album art.
    My second issue is one of the albums I do have the music app thinks two of the songs from the album are from an unknowen album and unknowen artist.  Again HP Play see everything fine with it.  Same as iTunes for all my music.

  • Please ONCE AGAIN re-add podcasts to the iOS music app

    I don't know why you feel the need to continue to try to separate my podcasts from my music, app-wise. You don't on the Mac - iTunes happily does both! I have a lot of podcasts, so i do NOT want to store them in the cloud. I listen to them on my computer (where I download and manage them) and on my phone, and I want to be able to listen to them within the same app as I do music. It was working. I liked it. Your podcast app is cludgey at best, and separating the podcasts out didn't work well last time you tried it. I wish you would have asked someone outside of your company before inflicting this decision upon us again. Please put them back into the music app.

    I use  the Nike+ running app that accesses my podcast playlist on the Music app while I am running.  This latest update of iOS now does not let me keep my podcast playlist on my Music app.  Ridiculous!!!  Why did Apple change this??  I can no longer use my podcast playlist WITH Nike+, because Nike+ can not access the new, not improved, Podcast app.
    Please for the love of all who buy and use Apple products, don't take our freedom away to set up our iPhones the way that we want them set up!  Please add Podcasts back to the Music app.....PLEASE!!!!!!
    FRUSTRATED! 

  • Bug in IOS Skype App (Update 4.17.3)

    Hi,
    I've been having some difficulty with my Skype app for my Iphone as it will show some of my contacts as online but they won't reply leading me to check on my laptop finding that they are not actually online like my phone says. This has been happening in previous updates I've had as well as this one.
    Kind Regards,
    Rebekah

    Hi there,
    I have faced a similar issue: While being on invisible status on my mac and wish to be the same on my i-phone (latest system update), it would put me automatically on online status! That I do not want, I always want to be on invisible status. Basically the latest Skype update does not synchronize my status. Please try to fix this bug.
    Thx,

  • Using foot pedal for ios music app?

    Hi there,
    this is my question: I´m a bassplayer and I need to support our band with more atmospheric sounds, like piano, strings, pads... Thus I thought of using a foot pedal to trigger a suitable app within my ipad 2. And I probably need a kind of chord memorizer like the one in Logic Pro or any likewise technique. Hope I could describe it a bit better than it sounds to me :-)
    What foot pedal could be suitable for this? What app can support this? I´m quite experienced with those apps but didn´t find the best. Maybe due to the lack of the pedal...
    Thanks in advance for ANY idea and a happy new year!!

  • IOS 8.3 Music App Artist Sorting

    This is not a new issue with iOS 8.3 but it does seem to have gotten worse with the new update.  I have noticed for a while that there is a problem with the sorting of artists in the iOS music app and I am not sure how to fix it.  I have the same exact music loaded onto my iPhone 6 as my old iTouch, which is running the latest version of iOS 5, but my iTouch does not have this problem.    There are many artists that are listed multiple times in iOS 8.3, but not iOS 5.  Just to be sure, I did go through and make sure that the artist names were the exact same in iTunes and that did nothing.  I also deleted all of my music off my phone and then put it back on and that did nothing either.  It is very annoying if I want to listen to an artist and have 5 different listings of them.  I have even noticed a couple of songs listed under the wrong artist, even though in iTunes the artist is labeled correctly.  Is anyone else having issues with the iOS music app or has anyone fixed these?
    Also, a more minor problem, my music used to keep the last song I was listening to in the "now playing" section even after I quit the music app.  Now, whenever I quit the music app, the "now playing" doesn't show up when I open it again.  Is there a way to get that back?

    Hi Dom, I think I got to the bottom of this but it took a lot of time and effort. There were a few songs that were showing up under multiple letters. For example, artist ABC was showing up under letter "A" and right in the middle of the "A"s the same group was showing up under letter "T". I had updated the metadata for ABC so it was properly showing up under the letter A but the cloud version of the song was showing up under "T" for some reason. I had to delete the ABC artist from my iPhone and then hide the cloud version of the artist/albums and then re-sync with my iTunes again.
    I had to go through this process for 3-4 artists that were showing up under the wrong letter so once this was done, the scrolling is working again. It was time consuming and painful but I think it is working again.

  • IOS 5.1.1 Music app aborts after two characters entered in search field if Home Sharing in use.

    The iOS 5.1.1 Music app search function works fine on my iPad 2 as long as the library being searched is resident on the iPad.
    When Home Sharing from my iMac’s iTunes library is used, however, the Music app aborts without explanation after two characters are entered in the search field.
    The behavior is always as expected after the first character is entered, but an abort always occurs after the second.
    I have tried restarting iTunes on my iMac, and I have done a hard reset on my iPad, but the behavior remains the same.
    This is not a minor problem from the user’s perspective, because unless the iTunes library being accessed is very small, it is very hard to find music from the information shown by the Music app on the iPad screen; it would be even worse for an iPhone or iPod touch. Without the search function working on iOS Music app, Home Sharing is of very limited use for me.
    In case it is relevant, here is fuller information about the environment:
    iMac 27" 2.93 GHz i7 12 GB RAM (Approx. 10 GB free or inactive at time of problem)
    OS X 10.7.4
    iTunes 10.6.3
    iPad 2G 16 GB Wi-Fi only
    iOS 5.1.1
    Airport Extreme 5G v 7.6.1
    Airport Express  802.11n v. 7.6.1 extending network
    Has anyone else experienced a problem like this?
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Spoke to a "senior advisor" in the Apple TV department.  Her suggestions:  change channel in router to minimize/eliminate wifi interference from other users; move router away from any metal - i.e., DVD player, phone modem, etc.; keep router away from wireless 2.4 gH phones, which are "notorious" for crashing wifi routers.  So she confirms that the problem is one of connection to router suddenly dropping out.
    My own feeling is that none of these fixes will do the trick, because it seems pretty clear that there is a hardware component here - the timing of the drops seems like an overheating issue.  It takes 35-40 minutes for the box to warm up enough for the first drop; then each consecutive drop happens quicker than the one before, as it heats up more.  Each time it drops, its tiny brain gets a little more scrambled; last night it finally wouldn't start up again at all.
    My suggestion is that everyone who is experiencing this problem, please call Apple tech support and ask to speak to a senior advisor in the Apple TV department.  Make them aware of this problem!

  • Music App shuffle option doesn't work

    Stats: iPad 1, iOS 5.0.1
    Music App shuffle option doesn't work.  I have already reset the iPad, removed all my music and resynched.  Shuffle button is selectable, but just plays the songs in alphabetical order, even if I try to skip to another song or start anywhere on my playlist.
    So far this version of music player for apple product is disappointing, the iTunes app before never had these issues.  There are some serious bugs in this Music app, Apple your comback success was largely because of iPods and iTunes, so music is a big part of Apple users use, please fix this.

    Hello,
    Yes I believe this is a known bug in Firefox OS v1.0. [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=883781 Bug 883781].
    The bug is marked as resolved in Firefox OS v1.1. Once ZTE update the Open to v1.1 the bug will be fixed on your device.
    v1.1 of Firefox OS was officially released yesterday. Hopefully it won't be too long before it reaches the ZTE Open. See here for more details:

  • Setting tabs in order for music app-playlists songs artists tabs

    How do you set the icons for organize tabs in the music app?

    I have also noticed bugs with the music app after updating to iOS 8.2, though not exactly the one you mentioned.
    Soon after updating my iPhone 6 to iOS 8.2, I connected it to my computer via USB cable because I wanted to transfer new music from my iTunes library to my iPhone. My iPhone, before I connected it to my computer, had about 5000 songs on it. However, after my iPhone 6 synced with iTunes, all of a sudden the amount of songs on my iPhone went down to about 2500 songs. When I looked through the Music App, I realized that only the music I had purchased from iTunes remained on my iPhone, while music ripped from my CD collection had somehow been deleted. I ended up having to transfer my whole iTunes music library to my iPhone again! This issue has to have something to do with updating to iOS 8.2, because it has never happened to me before, and iTunes hasn't been updated lately but is up to date and has worked fine.
    After transfering all my music back on my iPhone again, I started noticing a major bug within the iPhone Music App. The incorrect Artist Info is displayed for many songs I purchased from iTunes. For example, I have the album "My Everything (Deluxe)" by Ariana Grande on my iPhone. Only one song from the album, "Love Me Harder", is by the artists "Ariana Grande & The Weeknd" and supposed to display as such in the artist info section in the music app. However, 13 of the 15 tracks from the album all incorrectly display "Ariana Grande & The Weeknd" in the artist info for each track in the Music App (the exception being the track "Bang Bang" which actually does display the correct artist info for that song). All these songs display the correct info on iTunes, and I even tried removing the album, and then retransfering it back to my iPhone, to no avail. This bug occurs on many tracks and albums I've purchased from iTunes, but only in the iPhone Music App, and only started after updating to iOS 8.2. Tracks ripped from my CD collection seem to be unaffected.

  • Is there a better music app?

    I am looking for a better music app than the stock iOS Music app.  For some reason Apple took out the AirPlay button which is a hassle when I am switching from the car to my bluetooth headset and vice versa.  Also Not crazy about the way they now sort songs by artist.  I wish they had given us the option to just list an artists catalog alphabetically rather then just by album.  Lots of scrolling to find a song. 
    I have Lagu which is close to the iOS 6.X Music App but still doesn't have the AirPlay button and I Use Stezza in the car because big buttons.
    Are there any music apps that still include the AirPlay button for switching audio out?

    I just discovered (Did some more digging here in the forums) that the AirPlay option is in the control panel. 
    Connect iPhone to bluetooth, Play Song, Swipe up on control panel, Tap Airplay section of control panel, change output, swipe down. 
    It works, but is way more swiping than is necessary in my opinion.  I wish they would put AirPlay back in Now Playing screen.  They would just need to push the Repeat All, Create and Shuffle All options together a bit and put the AirPlay button back on the bottom of the screen.

  • IOS Music, iCloud Match songs cut off

    I've ripped about 10 CDs on my Mac. They upload from my iMac to iTunes Match. I can play them and download them on another Mac, but they do not play on my iPhone. I get about a minute, then silence for the balance of the song. All OS and iTunes up to date. I've tried deleting the library on my phone, turning iTunes match off and on on iPhone. I have deleted the songs and re-uploaded them. I need help on this one. Why will they play and download on another Mac, but not my iPhone?

    Found a solution!
    PROBLEM: Ripped CDs play fine on the source machine, they will stream and download to other machines via iTunes Match, but they either: A) play partially on iOS, then go silent, or B) play and then jump to the next track while displaying the prior track. Very annoying.
    WORK AROUNDS: A) Manage Muic without iTunes Match via USB cable or B) Download the tracks... they will still fail in iOS Music app, but they will play in Amazon Cloud Player app.
    CAUSE?: I think the mischief begins by adding songs to iTunes by drag-and-drop or by having the iTunes Match scan in iTunes interrupted.
    SOLUTION: What worked for me is the following:
    1) Back up for safety.
    2) Have an empty trash can... that makes it simple.
    3) Locate the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder at the root level of your iTunes folder.
    4) Delete the tracks from iTunes with the option+delete method and tick the "Remove from iCloud option." Have the tracks put into the trash can.
    5) Quit iTunes
    6) Open the "Automatically Add..." folder.
    7) Move the tracks from the trash can to the "Automatically Add.." folder.
    8) Restart iTunes.
    9) Let iTunes do it's match thing, which may take a while. Do something else while it's running. Read a book, volunteer at an animal shelter.
    <time passes>
    10) Check out the new tunes on your iOS device. They play now!
    Hooray!
