MM sync to iPhone: one album in MM becomes 2 albums on iPhone

Post by pxd »

I have spent a lot of time ensuring that in MM, all albums have consistent Album Artist and Artwork, and that disk and track numbers are correct. The result is albums that appear and behave well in MM 2024 v1.0.1.3113 (this includes standard albums, greatest hits albums, and compilations). When I sync my MM library to my iPhone 12pro, running IOS v18.3.2, some albums (an apparently random subset of album types noted above) arrive as two similarly named albums: one has the first track, the other has all the remaining tracks. This behaviour applies to a small subset of albums, which includes standard albums, greatest hits albums, and compilations, and includes both single and multi-disc albums. I have checked, cleaned, and reset tags and artwork, and for these problem albums, I cannot find any difference between track 1 and all subsequent tracks, apart from track name and number. Any suggestions? Any ideas? Anyone else seeing this? Thanks.

Can you repeat a Sync with some Albums for which this happens and capture this in a debug log (step 4b). Maybe this shows why this happens. Add the log to a Support Ticket: https://mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=86643

I have all the instructions, and will perform the debug sync as soon as I can. Thanks!

Take a look at this topic:

I had the same problem. It hasn't occurred recently with the latest MM versions. Do you use Apples music app?
