IOS 8.1.1 music app glitch

My problem is as follows:
I recently updated to the newest IOS (8.1.1) (less than a week ago). I was going through my music on my phone, when I encountered something strange. A certain artist has been merging and/or replacing other artists whenever I listen to his music (which isn't often, so i'm not exactly sure if this is even the OS's fault.) This glitch does not happen when multiple artists are shuffled, nor on playlists. Here is exactly what happens: I play a song from the problem artist's album, through the artist selection screen. Next I select another artist through the artist selection screen, and that's where the problem happens. The artist that I select second shows 1 of 3 iterations: 1: the first artist's name and art, with the second's songs. 2: Everything is the first artist. 3: second artist's name, first artist's art and songs.
As far as I can tell, it only happens on 1 artist, and I can find no discernible difference in said artists metadata or info from the rest.
Fixes I've tried:
Navigating to other artists (unsuccessful)
going to a playlist (success)
quitting and restarting app (moderate success; art is still wrong)
I cannot know for sure that this error is due to the IOS version or not because I only encountered this recently and it only affects one artist thus far, any insight is appreciated!
Hardware: iphone 5s, 16GB
Software: IOS 8.1.1

i have problems streaming YouTube listening to sample music on itunes and my podcast app none of my new podcast download never goes past prepare to download

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!

IPhone 5 iOS 7.0.2 Music app - volume slider slides to maximum when skipping tracks.

Hi all,
Wonder whether any other customers getting this?
iPhone 5 UK iOS 7.0.2 music app - when skipping tracks (or even selecting tracks) volume slider slides to maximum volume by itself intermittently. I have noticed with EU Volume Limit 'ON' in music settings or Volume limiting 'on' this behaviour occurs. I've turned off volume limiting and now it appears to work normally.
I did restore as new iPhone via iTunes at iOS 7.0 and had this behaviour followed by update to iOS 7.0.2 via iTunes and same problem.
I can't decide if this is a hardware or software problem?
Thanks all!

Yep - deleting anything that's not purchased on itunes when I try to play it.
This is terrible, and especially a pain when they're things like limited edition albums where tracks are only available direct, so going for iTunes match is not gonna help.
Only other variable to consider is that I installed the "Groove" app to try out a few weeks ago, and played music with it twice. Highly doubt this is related, however non-iTunes purchased tmusic tracks also show up there and now *crash the phone* when I try to play them so it's something system-wide.

IOS 5 and broken Music app (iPod touch 3rd Gen)

hi,
since the latest iOS 5 release, my music app has been behaving in a weird way. It's as if the app forgets whether it's in portrait or landscape mode (but that's oversimplifying the problem I think).
I took step-by-step screenshots of what happens when I open the music app: (keep in mind that even if the picure is shown as landscape, I was holding my iPod in the portrait mode (I realised I should've locked it into portrait, but forgot. Either way, the problem is still the same!)
Opening the app:
http://d.pr/i/jn2X
first problem, shows as if a video is loading (it is not!)
http://d.pr/i/FcJl
and there it is, after the app "loads" the screen, it looks like the UI is messed up
http://d.pr/i/syV4
http://d.pr/i/jTcU
http://d.pr/i/7pp1
Usually switching between screens on the bottom of the screen (playlists, artistis, genres etc.) will fix the UI problem.

Yes, it will work. Do a manual install, as outlined in the link below.

Music App Glitches

Hey...... how's it going. I have Itunes 7.0.4 and my music app is significantly glitched for several different artists. First off, the artist A$AP Rocky appears in two different columns for no notable reason.
The files are connected and they'll both be deleted if I delete them in 1 column.
Second, the artist A$AP Ferg's album Trap Lord appears with the wrong cover in my music app, even though every song in the album has the proper cover in iTunes.
The cover displayed is instead the cover to another album I own, by the name of Young Rich N*ggas. One song in the Trap Lord album appears with the Young Rich N*ggas cover in the music app, however it has the correct cover in itunes.
Next, my album Young Rich N*ggas also asks me if I want to "show complete album" in my music app, even though I have every song downloaded onto my music app.
Can anyone explain to me what the cause of these glitches is and how can I fix them? Thanks.

You can try changing that art work and a resync the double artist I have and am working out a fix

IOS 6.1.2 music app making an Internet connection every time launched.

I noticed that each time I open the Music app it makes a connection. I used system status to track down who owned the IP used and it's Apple. I assume it is checking for iTunes Match, but I don't have iTunes Match and it is disabled. So I logged out of iTunes & App Store single sign-on in Settings and the connection attempts stopped. But this stinks because I don't want to have to sign in and out each time so my battery isn't used by random connection. Apple's built in apps all immediately sync each time I open them, which is why I have switched to other apps that don't to save battery.
Is anyone else having this happen? Any possible solutions?

Why is this a problem?

Music app glitch (Doesn't show my music)

Ipod 4th gen, 8gb (2.8gb Audio; 1.94gb Apps; the rest is free)
Whenever I try to open my music app it says "No content download from itunes", and when I plug my ipod in to my Pc itunes says that I have atleast 2.8gb of music. And when i open the music tab it shows all of my music. The App doesn't crash though.

When did you publish to store? It might just be a matter of waiting for it to show up:

Is the IOS 7.0.2 music app deleting albums for anyone else when they try to play them?

Ever since updating to iOS 7.0.2 when I play music on my iPhone 5 it's skips through the songs and deletes the album/artists selected.
I have tried plugging into iTunes, deleting all music and transferring it all back but after a few days the problem came back
Is anyone else experiencing this and or found a fix?

Music app crashes with IOS 8.3 after playing two songs

I just submitted this bug report to Apple:
I have a auto update smart playlist based on zero rated tracks with an album rating of 3 stars or higher. I play this playlist on random and rate the tracks as I listen to them. Since updating to iOS 8.3 the music app will play two tracks (which I have rated during the play) and upon the completion of the second track will crash or close out and return me to the iOS home screen. This is repeatable. I have music matched switched off and the playlist is freshly updated from WiFi update from my Mac.
Has anyone else experience something similar where the music app will close repeatedly after only playing a couple of songs?

Hi
I'm also having all the same problems mentioned earlier, ever since my update to 8.3.
Having tried deleting "5 star" playlist, recreating and then re-syncing, does nothing!!
As per ToolMan7x6, I can play from "songs" , "albums" or " artists" via shuffle or regular play with no problems, on my iPhone 5S, but as I can't listen to the circa 3500 songs I have on my phone all day in shuffle mode, this is driving me nuts!!
Any suggestions would much be appreciated

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?

Music app wont open!!!

i have an iPhone 3G iOS 4.2, i recently did a restore on my phone because it was running a little slow and plus theres a weird gray line running across the bottom of my screen and it only goes away when i turn the screen off...but now since i updated from iOS 4.1 to iOS 4.2 the music app wont open it jus stays white trying to open then it just crashes...any ideas?

Hi Kat713,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the Music app on your iPhone quits unexpectedly when you launch it, first restart the phone. If the behavior persists, reset the phone next:
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
You can find the article with these steps here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists after resetting the phone, I recommend backing up and restoring your iPhone:

Music stops playing but Music app still shows as playing

My wife's 4S keeps having problems while playing music. The sound will stop, but the Music app shows it is still playing. I don't really know what to even try to do to fix this. I may try restoring it. Might be a hardware issue. Any others have this happen? It is one of those issues that occurs at random so its hard to pin down. I may also have her try listening to Pandora for awhile and see if it does the same thing. Might be able to nail down if it is app related or hardware. Nevertheless, that would be one additional thing to tell Apple I tried.

The question is old, I'm not sure if the problem is the same as mine.
Symptoms:
I will be playing music
The song stops playing
If I skip a number of songs I will sometimes get one that works
If I return to "Songs" and search for the song, it will show up with a "download from iCloud" symbol
If I stop playback, then tap the "Download from iCloud" symbol, the song will eventually start playing again
Platform:
iPhone 4
iOS 7
Apple's Music app
Synced using iTunes
iCloud settings (Settings -> iCloud) only cover Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc
I do NOT have "iTunes Match" turned on, nor am I subscribed to iTunes Match
I do have "Show All" turned on for Music and Videos (Settings -> iTunes and App Store)
I do have "Automatic Downloads" turned on for Music, Apps, Books (Settings -> iTunes and App Store)
I have "Use Cellular Data" turned off in Settings-> iTunes and App Store)
My Music app is signed in for Home Sharing
How I have worked around the problem for the meantime: when listening to music, turn the iPhone 4's "Airplane Mode" on. Sure, I can no longer make or receive phone calls, iMessages, SMS, browse the web, or anything else but at least my music doesn't spontaneously stop.
I have not had problems with the iPhone ceasing playback of music that I loaded onto the device from CDs (i.e.: the problem only occurs with songs that I've bought from the iTunes Music Store).
Having reviewed the settings, I've turned off "Automatic Downloads" in case that's what has caused my problem (i.e. iOS 7 is getting confused about the song being on my iPhone already so it deletes the song and then re-downloads it). This problem has only occurred once every few months, so it's going to be very difficult to verify that any fix or workaround actually works.

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:
[https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2013/10/09/firefox-os-update-1-1-adds-new-features-performance-improvements-and-additional-language-support/ Firefox OS Update (1.1)]
I hope that helps.

Music app shuffles always

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.
The Music app seems to be stuck in shuffle mode. The Shuffle icon is not highlighted, but I can't toggle it either. It just always plays in shuffle mode. I've tried playing an album in its song order and I've tried playing a playlist in its order. It always shuffles.
Anyone else experiencing this or have a solution?

Never mind, I got it. For some reason, tapping the screen was taking a really long time popping up the additional controls, so I never got to them. Sometimes these gratuitous UI changes are annoying.

What happened to the audio out function in the Music app?

I have had pretty good luck with iOS 7, but the one thing that really bugs me is that they took out the audio out function in the Music app.
In iOS 6.X's Music app the Now Playing screen had an Audio Out option at the bottom of the screen. I am sure it was called something else, but you could tap it and choose the audio out channel you wanted to use, iPhone speakers, earphones, bluetooth and I think AirPlay.
Why would they remove this option?
I was just wondering if there is another music player that still includes this option. I use Stezza for in the car (Big buttons) and Lagu when I want the old iOS music player interface. But neither of them include the audio select option.
I will submit this as feedback on the feedback page to see if they will consider putting it back in.
