Songs duplicated after sync

Every song in every album (except for one) has been duplicated. I think it has something to do with me syncing my iPhone with my MacBook after upgrading to Catalina. How do I get rid of the duplicates?

Duplicate song removal from Music. I have an iPhone 13 Pro which I’m having an issue with. I can’t seem to get rid of duplicate songs automatically but I can do it manually. Seems like every time I sync my phone with my iMac the songs duplicate. It’s driving me crazy. First, how do I, or can I, delete duplicates automatically? Second, how do I prevent it from happening again? Lastly, will these duplicates be removed from iCloud too? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Duplicate Songs on My iPhone 13 Pro At some point recently, all of the songs in my iTunes library have been duplicated and appear twice. I have roughly 36 gigs of music on my iMac (where I sync my phone) but roughly twice that on my phone (76 gigs). Any song list, search list I select has two of everything: I back up to iCloud. I've tried re-syncing, but nothing changes. What should I do to safely remove the duplicates.

Duplicate Songs On iPhone XS Won't Delete I am having trouble trying to delete duplicate songs that are on my iPhone XS. I have the latest update IOS 13.6. The duplicate songs are only on my phone in the Music App>Library>Songs. There are no duplicates in iTunes on my Mac...even when I do a search for duplicates. They only show up in "Songs" on my iPhone. None of the songs have the cloud icon next to them. And I also noticed that some of the songs do not have the correct album cover associated with the song. Not sure why I have so many duplicates or why the songs have the wrong album photo next to them. I have my iTunes settings to manual so they haven't been synced that way. I even saw one song that has been duplicated 4 times in my phone. How can I fix this?

Hi,

If your search this forum, you’ll find other guys who had the same issue.

They’ve shared that it was fixed by calling Apple and having them do something on their side.

Good Luck!
