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?"
should be
"Can anyone else confirm these bugs? Also, what is the best way to report these bugs to Apple?"

  • 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!

  • 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. 

  • ITunes refuses to group one video with others with the same album and artist

    This is absolutely ridiculous. They have the exact same album and artist name, yet my latest addition refuses to group with the others. I've tried so many things, yet it still won't group. Tried adding some random text to both the album and artist. Then tried removing the random text. Also tried completely removing all the text and manually typing them again. Still does the exact same thing. And believe me, there are no spaces or weird characters that differentiate them. They are exactly the same. The weird thing is, if I add the word "Nuke" before "Jizztage" in the title, it will then group. What the ****? I don't want the title of the video to be "Nuke Jizztage Volume 1." Just so frustrating for an app that has been around for donkey's years. And no, it's not a big deal. Just annoys me that I have to spend hours trying to figure out why this stupid piece of software won't do the simplest of things!

    A Little further clarification.....
    The computer will start..... makes noise - disk whirring.   But screen does not illuminate and operating system does not boot.

  • Imported MP3 sound and image CD Bird pics and sounds but each song is an album, so cluttering my album and artist lists. How can I keep together as one album please?

    I Imported a MP3 sound and image CD Bird - Birds of Sri Lanka - via itunes on my mac, then synched content to my Iphone as a Playlist to get all the songs/pics in alpha order. BUT each of the 329 birdsongs are listing/appearing as a separate album, so cluttering my album and artist lists :0(
    How can I get all the Birds of Sri Lanka songs/albums to come together as just one album please?

  • TS2446 If i create a new apple id account on my ipod, will i still have all my music, apps, books and other stuff on my ipod that i downloaded and bought with my old account or will i loose everything; will i be able to still do the updates to those apps?

    If I create a new apple id account on my ipod, will I still have all my music, apps, books and other stuff on my ipod that I downloaded and bought with my old account or will I loose everything; will I be able to still do the updates to those apps?
    I really need help!

    I don't think you understood what I wrote. You don't HAVE to pay for everything if you are happy with using the other account for updates, etc. But if you don't want to do that then you will have to buy new copies of everything for the new account. There's only one purchase item per account, but you can redownload an item in the account many times.
    The idea is this:
    One computer, multiple devices, one Apple ID.
    One user, multiple devices, one Apple ID.
    The basic idea is that each user has an Apple ID under which he/she can manage multiple devices on a single computer.
    Once you step outside of that model you create such problems as not being able to use or update apps purchase under one Apple ID when using a different Apple ID. Or not being able to easily sync one device on more than one computer.

  • Can I change my iCloud email address and keep all of my music, apps, files and mail in the cloud and on all of my devices?

         Ok, so here's the deal. I want to change my iCloud email address. Ultimately I want to keep the same Apple ID and simply edit the part before the '@icloud.com'. If this is not possible, can I make a new Apple ID and transfer all of music, apps, files, and mail to the new Apple ID and all of my other devices?
                        Thanks in advance, Scotty P.

    You cannot change your iCloud email address but you can setup a new alias: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a
    You cannot transfer purchases from one AppleID to another.

  • No indexed list and alphabet bar in "albums" and "artists"

    Please help!!! No indexed list and alphabet bar in "albums" and "artists" suddenly, but only in "songs", firmware 2.2.1. Any idea???

    You only get the 'index' running down the right of the screen if you have enough items in that category. Somewhere over 20-30, I believe.

  • I lost all of my artist names and album names for my iTunes library. They are all now on one album. How can I get the album and artist names back?

    I lost all of my artist names and album names for my iTunes library. They are all now on one album. How can I get the album and artist names back?

    I have a script called ExportImport for this task, but it only runs in Windows.
    In principle something similar should be possible in AppleScript, but I don't currently have access to a Mac to write it myself.

  • Music app shows unknown artist for compilation albums

    I just submitted a bug report to Apple, though I can't believe I am the only person with this issue.
    Since iOS7 (I am currently on iOS7.0.4) I have noticed that the music app (along with many many other issues) will no longer display the artist for compilation albums that I have.  In iTunes the artist on the compilation is clearly defined but in iOS7 the Music app simply states "unknown artist".
    Surely I am not the only one with this issue?

    I am very annoyed by this bug too, I have  a lot of compilation albums and soundtracks with lots of differents artists, and my library is super organized in iTunes, with the “Album artist” field empty and the “Part of a compilation” checkbox enabled, and it shows the compilations as a “Various Artists” album.
    But when I tried to download through iTunes Match in my iPhone 5C some few songs from those albums today, I found out that the music app has this bug that makes almost all of the compilation albums appear within this “UNKNOWN ARTIST” category under the artists tab.
    It is very annoying and I hope Apple fixes this, cuz it is driving me crazy.

  • IOS 8.2 music app displaying wrong artist for songs

    I've been very unhappy with iOS 8.2. After updating my iPhone 6 to 8.2, I noticed a problem in the music app. Some of my songs have the wrong artist name displayed. In some cases, all of the songs by an artist display the wrong name. For example I have songs by the artist Wings. On one of their albums, They went under another name for a couple of songs, The Country Hams, and I have the album artist listed as Wings. But, after the update, all of the songs by Wings on every album have the artist name as The Country Hams, even though that name is used on only 2 songs on one album. When I search by artist in the app, Wings is no longer listed as an artist. When I go to The Country Hams, all of the songs by Wings are listed under that name. A similar problem occurs with other artists as well, whether the songs are purchased or not. Nothing I did would fix the problem. I tried changing the tags in iTunes, re-syncing, and restoring the phone. Nothing. I synced the songs to my iPod, and the information was correct, so I know the problem is not with my iTunes Library or the tags. Eventually, I succumbed to downgrading back iOS 8.1.3, and restoring the phone. Everything's back to normal. The problem is 8.2. I hope this is fixed with the next update, otherwise I'll just have to stay with 8.1.3. This is very frustrating.
