Downloaded music showing as music video

So I recently got a new iPhone (XR) and as we all know adding downloaded music to a new iPhone is a pain. I couldn’t do it via iTunes because for some reason I couldn’t get it to recognize either phone, old or new.


I used an an app that transferred all music from phone to phone easily. The problem is, all music that I downloaded (did not purchase via iTunes) is showing as blank videos in the new phone. The music is playing but I can’t skip the song, I can only fast forward in 30 second intervals or move the player to the end of the song. For music I purchased through iTunes, I can skip easily.


Does anyone else have this problem or know of a solution? Thanks in advance.

iPhone XR, iOS 12
