Question

iOS music tracks missing from album

I’ve noticed that if an album includes both standalone tracks and tracks that are movements of a larger “work”, iOS music is only showing the works on the album and their movements. Any tracks on the album that are not a movement for a work do not display as part of the album. Those tracks are on my iPhone, as they show up when I search for the track by name, but even when I pull that track up and then click “Show Album” it brings me back to the album where only the works and movements are shown.

All tracks show up properly when viewed in the music app in MacOS.

Hello jeff.s.turner,

Thank you for following up.

Have you had a chance to remove one of the albums that you're experiencing this with, and then add it again to see if that resolved the issue?

Also, you may want to check for any updates for your iPhone: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You'll want to have a current backup prior to updating.

If those steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Apple Support: Get Support.

Take care.

This is happening with albums that are in my library, purchased from iTunes. I know I saw this happen with one album about a month ago, but I think I may have run into this issue earlier this year.
