"My Music" app .. song name displayed in error

Hi,
I have a C1-01. I have stored some mp3s on the memory card, and I checked with an ID3 editor on my PC, they have their ID3 tags correct. But in the "My Music" app on the phone, when I go to "All Songs", many songs have their name displayed in error (they have extra information that I deleted from their ID3 tag). Eg: I have changed the "title" field of a song to say "Welcome", but in the song list, it is displayed as "Welcome - mp3albums.net". I checked with the ID3 editor software on my computer, the song has just "Welcome" for its title field. The music player on the phone is picking up the extra information from I don't know where. I updated the music library on the phone, it doesn't help. Switched off the phone, removed the battery, waited for a few minutes, switched on, same problem. Deleted temp files on the memory card, and the .trash folder on the card, same problem. Any ideas?
Also, is it possible to change the font size in the music player to extra small font?
(My phone has the latest software update, version 5.50)
Thanks.

There are several versions of ID3, did you change ID3v1? or V2? what editor do you use anyway? I've found mp3tag to always be correct

Music app does not display some of the artists' names correctly

It's so annoying. I have a few artists, whose names are not displayed correctly by the music app. In the following, I'm gonna take the band "Annisokay" as an example.
I, first of all, had this artist named as "annisokay". Everything was alright. Today, I decided it would look better with a capital A, so I changed the name to "Annisokay". I synced my iPhone with iTunes and checked the music app afterwards: In the music app, the name is still displayed as "annisokay". I connected the iPhone to my MacBook again and checked the "On this iPhone" tab in iTunes. There, the name is correctly displayed as "Annisokay".
I've tried deleting all the music on the iPhone and syncing it again, restarting my iPhone, deleting the music from iTunes and importing it again, changing the names to some gibberish and changing it back again, but nothing worked!!
So, to sum up, whatever I'm trying, in the end the artist's name (Artist & Album Artist) is defined as "Annisokay" and is displayed like that in iTunes itself and in the "On this iPhone" tab, but in the music app on the iPhone it's "annisokay". That's very annoying. Has anybody else ever encountered this problem? Is there someone who can help me to solve it?

Hi Phani
Attached please find the ini file as requested.
I look forward to your response.

Music App: Playlist name doesn't display under folder

I believe I have found a small but annoying bug in Music App. I have my playlists organized into folders in itunes. After sync'ing playlists in those folders to my iphone 6 (ios 8.1), when you select the folder, and then a playlist, instead of showing the playlist name at the top of the screen, it repeats the folder name. For example, I have the folder "Smart" that I have my smart playlists in, when I choose a playlist in that folder this is what I see:
Instead of showing the playlist name "Random Hard Rock" it repeats the folder name "Smart".

hey i got the same problem on my iphone 5 since i updated to 8.1 what's wrong with this update ?

IOS 7 music app does not display artist pictures and has incorrect album art after master reset.

Strange issue here. I did the update from iOS 6 to iOS 7, after I did the update, I noticed my synced music has just a random photo of the artist / group, that seems to be downloaded from the iTunes sites, because these pictures of the artist/group is not my album artwork.
I did a master reset on my device because I wanted to start from a clean slate, and set it up as a new phone. I went through and adjusted all of my settings and synced my music back on via iTunes, now its not showing these pictures any longer, infact, the strangest issue of them all.. is now when I view artists, the album that I synced now has a complete different album artwork picture that is not related to that album.
I am at a loss, my iTunes is extremely organized, I have everything configured to be 100% accurate for track names, artist, album, and album artwork.
Anyone have any input here? It only screwed up after the reset I did. This has to be a bug or something.

SiMooew469: Thank you! After countless wasted hours messing with this, your solution was the only one that worked! After setting up a few phones "as new" I noticed all the artist images would appear (for those that have one) even with my Match turned on. I could not duplicate it on my restored-from-backup iPhone5S, as I would get a mix of the images and album art, even for those artists that have profile photos on the as-new setups. I couldn't afford to lose all my text messages, etc. that come with restoring a phone as-new, so I tried about everything else under the sun: I tried logging in-and-out of my Apple ID, toggling Match on-and-off, I even deleted iTunes_control folder using iExplorer on a Windows machine. Nothing worked.
Here's what finally did:
If you don't have it set this way already, toggle "Group By Album Artist" in Settings->Music. For some reason that makes a difference for some artists in your library that appear when album artist is set to "Various Artists" or something other than the track's artist. Logout of your Apple ID. Log in with any other Apple ID. Open the Music app and watch all the artist images load in the Artisits tab. Once it is done, logout of the other Apple ID and login with your regular Apple ID. Finally, all the artist images will remain. Those artists that do not have a profile photo with iTunes will still show album art, which is by design. Hopefully Apple will keep updating that database.
Incidentally, it's a bit odd that those profile photos don't appear in the Artists view in iTunes 11...or am I the only one?

Music app: songs stuck in album issue

hey guys,
I've just got an IP 4 with IOS 5 from my sister and there is a annoying problem with my Music app.
As I sync the music from Itunes, most of songs run to "album" but not the "all songs". In other words,175 songs were synced into my IP - 165 of them only appear in the "album" (which creates 59 albums) and what I have in my "all songs" is 10 songs!
FYI, I've authorised the computer. My Icould and Itunes accounts are different (but I dont use the Itunes match). This problem never appears with my previous IP 3 (well, back then I have Ipod and I'm starting to miss it right now)
Can anyone help me with this, PLEASE? I'm a music lover and I cant survive the week without portable songs...
Many many thanks.

Duplicate song names appearing in error

My library keeps renaming tracks with the wrong song name. Two tracks will appear to have the same name but if you look at the track length it's actually two different tracks sharing the same name. When you click on it one track the other is removed from the library.
Any clues?

I have the same problem

Artist view in Music App is not displaying all the albums of an artist. iOS 5 problem?

In my case, for example, I have 2 albums of Sade.
When viewed in Artist view, only one album shows up. The other album is missing.
But when I go to Album view, I can find the Album. And the artist name is correctly labeled as Sade.
Anyone knows why? I don't remember this before upgrading to iOS 5.

It's a universal glitch with ios5. With any double album (i.e. Greatest Hits Vol.1 and Greatest Hits Vol. 2), the 2nd album is not coming up under "Artist". It's there under "Albums" and "Songs", but NOT "Artists".

HT1386 My music app displays "no music" after I download songs

Wen I purchase music from iTunes they do not appear in my music app after downloading them on my iPad 4 but via iCloud they do appear and are downloaded to my other (iphone 5) devices. I am also able to see all the songs I have on iCloud on my iPad 4 however I am not able to download them to the music app. After download is complete I click on the music app and it displays "no music".

Try this first. Close the music app completely and then reboot the iPad.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't fix it, my next recommendation is to backup your iPad and restore it. I have seen a number of posts like yours in the past couple of weeks, and after much experimentation trying other fixes, the one thing that always seems to work is to restore the software.

I have an iphone 6 with the most recent iOS. iTunes Match is on. Music app only showing songs purchased on iTunes and no playlists are displayed. Just happened when updating iTunes Match. Solutons?

I have an iPhone 6 with 64 GB of memory. I have iTunes Match turned on my account and on the phone. Suddenly, the Music app is only displaying music purchased directly from iTunes and no playlists are displayed. This occurred after updating iTunes Match on my PC; when new music did not appear, I turned off iTunes Match off/on the PC then did the same on iPhone 6. It looks like iTunes Match is trying to do a full download to the phone but it never completes. Ideas?

Chinese Song Name Not Displayed Correctly

When I import music, the song names come up to all garbled, which they are displayed in weird special characters instead of proper Chinese.
I've tried to reverse Unicode, and have no effect on it. I also tried changing the OS language to Chinese, but it doesn't help as well.
When I copied the files from my PC, I've checked the files that they display their song name correctly in Finder, but all corrupted when I import them into iTunes.

Music App: Tilting Device Turns Screen into Black Tiles

Hello, I have a 5th generation iPod Touch, and I updated it to iOS 7. I am having a minor but annoying problem with the music app.
The display for the music app looks like this:
Once in a while, when the device tilts, the screen turns into a series of black tiles, like this:
When the screen turns into black tiles, I cannot restore it to the original display. I have to shut down the device, start it again, and hope it doesn't tilt enough to switch over to the tiles again.
Is there a way to restore the display from these black tiles to the default screen? If so, what is the procedure? Thank you!

So I have been using my iPad for a few months now and I recently noticed that the time display next to the playlist name in the music app that is supposed to display the total song count and time of a playlist is way off. I have a 25 song playlist that is around 2 hours on my computer appears as 2003 minutes on my iPad. It's a smart playlist limited to 25 songs if that makes any difference. Is this happening to anyone else? Any help would be appreciated!

Greetings,
First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
Hope that helps.

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.

For some artists in my Music app on my I-phone, the songs do not appear when I search by the artist. However, if I search the album name, all the songs show. How do I get the songs to show under songs?

Hi Spam_Valley,
I understand that you are having issues with your music displaying correctly. This may be an issues with the metadata stored within that song, and iTunes interpretation of that info.
We may need to repair this. See the following resources for information:

I can no longer play my music from iTunes on my computer. i get the error prompt: The song (name) could not be used because the original file could not be found. What do I do?

not sure what to add other than to repeat myself. ive lost ability to play music from my iTunes library on my computer. Everything is there but i get an error message that says '"The song (name) could not be found. Would you like to locate it? Then it gives me the option to locate or cancel. i can't do that for 3800 songs!! i have all my music in separate folders by album and all individual selections in an external hard drive. i can play from there but thats clicking on one number at a time. i lost my capability in the process of Microsoft correcting a problem with my outlook program. Why, i haven't a clue. help!!

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
