I bought a new album a couple days ago and my phone lists the artist as "unknown". I switched my iPhone's settings on iTunes so I can manage my music manually and deleted the album. Then I loaded it again and it still says the artist is unknown. How do I get it to recognize the artist name? All of the information on my iTunes library is correct, it's just the iPhone that won't recognize the artist.

iPhone 4, iOS 5, iPhone 4S
there is no way to only sort by "album name", just a combination of "artist and album name" is accessible under options in the menu. This gives me problem since I have a lot of compilations with various artist names.I remember that it was some similar problems with 5800 XM, but fixed via an s/w release a long time ago...

On my computer, every music application utilizes the "Album Artist" tag to group and sort artists. This way, multi-artist compilations with an album artist tag of "Various Artists" don't show up as 12-20 artists per album.Unfortunately, on the Sony Xperia Active, the music player doesn't use the Album Artist to sort artists, so I now have hundreds of "albums" of 1 song each from hundreds of individual artists on compilation albums.

I have a 128gb sd card and if I play music through my car bluetooth in Honda Accord, none of the album and artist information is showing on the car display. Also, I am not able to use my car volume or music controls to control the music. I even tried using music that is not in sd card. Is this a bug in windows 10 phones?

I thought it was because I put the songs on via usb rather than buying through xbox music, but I transferred them to my wife's icon and they worked as they should.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently switched from Apple to Android. I'm using the default music app. I noticed that bands starting with "the" appear with artists starting with "t". In iTunes, there was an option to change the "sort artist name" so that an artist like The Beatles would appear alongside other bands starting with "b", rather than "t". Is there any way I can do this on Android?

My iphone on latest ios has loads of cool artist pics instead of album art under the artists tab. I like it but some artists pics are missing. I know they have a profile pic so why do they not download / update? Most of them have one but tonight I downloaded a few new songs and the artist pics have not downloaded so in the artist tab it just has an album art. Does it only periodically update? I guess it's a server side issue at apple but whether they fix it is questionable as they are often ignorant or refuse to accept issues. From past experience apple seems to play dumb on these issues at times - so when sonething breaks/glitches (iTunes Match a good example) it tends to stay broken for a long time

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy Motoactv displays the name for several artists as "Unknown Artist." The song title and album artwork appear just fine, but a lot of my music just shows up as Unkown Artist. It is also showing up on my motoactv.com page as Unkown. I sync my playlists from iTunes. My shuffle can read me the name of the artist for the same songs, and they show up correctly on my iPod touch, and in iTunes. Does anyone else have this problem?

For example I like certain bands and it'll play music like them to start off with, but it won't play them continuously song after song after song.
View 14 Replies View RelatedSo I've been using file properties and windows media player to organise my music library and after the initial struggle of changing from iPhone to Samsung the last 10 months have been a breeze. Last week I decided to play around with some of the album art for albums that were showing up blurred in my lock screen. After changing a lot with Album Art Grabber, none of the current offending files, I checked to see the results and a few were still blurred so I decided to scrap that idea and with too many to pick through I just simply removed all music files and then but everything back to on my phone via drag and drop as per usual. Then I noticed there were around 40 tracks being read as <unknown> artist and a few were the track titles aren't being read also. Everywhere other than on my phone the tracks are correct and perfectly organised. I managed to get this number down to 21 but for the last week I've been having trouble trying to rectify the remaining tracks to no avail.
When things like this happen I wish I had an iPhone still but right now I would just really like to go back to last Sunday and not do what I did.
I've tried a couple of apps to edit tags from the play store but that hasn't worked at all.
I can easily see how to play ONE album by an artist, but not ALL albums by one artist.

I have previously succeeded with adding an artist image to an Mp3 file and transferring it to my Lumia 920. The image of the artist shows up in the Music+Videos section.
The problem now is when I go to Settings and Lock Screen options and choose to Show artist when playing music the artist image isn't showing up at locked screen! The screen turns in default grey color.
So I'm new to the Samsung Galaxy S5 and I have a few artists that I put on my phone using my laptop and a few artists in my library that either don't have an artist picture, or they have an album art as the picture. Is there any way to just add or edit an artist picture?

View 15 Replies View RelatedI have a number of audio books that I loaded onto my SD card. I inserted the card into my RAZR Maxx HD and some of the books show the Artist and Book titles as "unknown".
I keep these files in a portable hard drive so when I look at them on my PC I have a folder with the Author's name and the book name. Inside the folder I have "Track 1", "Track 2" etc.
I just loaded 10 of these books (folders) and 4 of them show up in the "Play Music" app with "Unknown Album" and "Unknown Artist".
If I plug my phone into my PC I see all the folders with their author name and book title. I imagine that the app is looking at some information that is in the actual file to display the author and book title. Is there a way to get it to display the file names that folders actually have? If not is there a way that I can edit the "Unknown" fields?
The picture shows the files on my phone displayed on my PC and displyed on my Phone. Notice that all the folders have names on the PC but not on the phone.

View 12 Replies View RelatedLately (since the last update) I've noticed album art is mixed up. I'll be playing music and look and see album art from a ringtone or something instead of the correct art. This doesn't seem to be a problem on my computer, just the phone. Is there a way to force the phone to correct the art besides removing all my music and putting it back on? That's what I had to do to fix the first album. I forced an update of album art in iTunes but I'm still seeing problems on the phone.
