Adding albums to music library

Sometimes when I add an album to my library it adds it as two albums with some of the tracks in each. Together they make up the entire album, but the tracks are random, not consecutive, making it impossible if you want to listen to the album in its correct order.

Does anyone know why this is, and if there is anything I can do to avoid it.

Note that showing the complete album, then adding the complete album doesn’t solve the problem.

Thanks.

Hi Peterlg.


Thanks for following up with those additional details.


Next, try the steps below to see if it helps:


  1. Launch iTunes and find the affected Album.
  2. Right click > Album/Song Info > Details.
  3. If you sees [ - ] in 'compilation,' it means that some tracks are marked as a compilation and some are not.
  4. You can either check or uncheck the box based on the content type.
  5. Repeat steps 2-4 for each affected album.
  6. Sync the iPhone with iTunes once more.
