Q: My iphone 4 (iOS 6.0.1) only shows 4 artists and 106 albums in Music on home sharing. Yet the entire library of 5908 songs are available under "Songs". No actual problem here, but the "Artists" and "Album" categories are wrong. What gives?

    I see no "compilations" setting on my iphone under music or itunes. However, I restored my iphone, which first caused iOS 6.0.1 to be reinstalled, and it seems to have worked; all the artists show up altho there are those that are stuck in compilations. I guess I never noticed that before, or how many albums with new additional material are considered compilations. If there is a way to free them from the compilations pile, and break them out into the artists list, I would like to hear it.

    in itunes select all of your songs, right click on any and click get info. ("yes" to changing multiple items if asked)

    then in the last tab "part of a compilation" should be an option, change to no and click ok

    Resync etc and test
