Hi,
I have synced my ITunes with my IPhone XS but I have an issue with the Californication Album by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. In my ITunes it shows correctly as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, however on my IPhone it is showing as Various Artists.
I have tried deleting the album and then syncing again with my ITunes but still get the same issue. Has anyone seen this before and managed to fix the problem?
Regards
Andrew

Hey Andrew_Sampson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities!
From what I've read is that one of your albums shows up under Various Artists when synced to your iPhone. I'd like to help but I got some questions as well.
Are you seeing the behavior with any other albums?
Was this Album purchased from iTunes, burned from a CD, or imported from another source?
Do you have an Apple Music, or iTunes Match subscription?
I would also suggest taking a look at that albums compilation settings:
Change CD information in Music on Mac
Change song and CD information in Music on Mac
The section, Tips for using song and CD information to organize your music may help as well.
Thanks again, and have a great day!

Hi Stevi
Thank you for the reply. The item was burned from a CD. It appears that it was related to the compilation setting in the album info. Strange how this was affecting the IPhone but not ITunes.
Having unchecked the box it has resolved the issue.
Thanks for the solution
