Itunes Drag and Drop

This question has been asked a million times, but no solution is working.

I made my own Album on iTunes and I can not drag and drop it to add it to my phone.

I have "manually manage" music selected and I still can't do it. When I drag and drop the area where I dragged and drop just blinks. My phone and itunes are both updated.

Albums not syncing between iTunes and Apple Music I'm attempting to add an album to my Apple Music library via iTunes on my PC, which I have done multiple times successfully. Every time there is an issue, it usually shows me the dotted cloud or an exclamation point. This time, however, the album is uploaded into iTunes perfectly fine but does not sync to my Apple Music library. This began with not being able to get one song from the album to sync, so I deleted the album as a whole and tried to resync. Now, the entire album has disappeared from my phone's library while showing itself as Recently Added in my iTunes PC library. If anyone has an issue for this I would greatly, greatly appreciate it. It is very annoying and I am not able to listen to one of my favorite albums now. I have tried deleting the album and resyncing manually to no avail.

Music does not transfer music to my iphone properly. Hello, When I drag and drop an album file from the desktop to my iphone. Music (previously itunes) transfers every song as a seperate album instead of as one complete album. The workaround has been to delete the songs after they have been transferred to my iphone, and then reload them again. For some reason, they will load as a complete album the second time. This is incredibly annoying, not only because it is time consuming, and just stupid- but because this problem has persisted for the past five years or so. But now the problem has actually gotten worse! Now- not only does it still transfer each song as if it were its own album- but the album artwork will not be transferred- nor is there a way to right click to add the artwork. I understand that artwork can only be added into the library- but the library will not allow me to drag and drop recently added albums to my iphone. Previously added albums can be dragged and dropped- just not the most recent albums (ie the albums that I just added to my Library so that I could add their art and put the songs on my phone)! To clarify- If I drag and drop music directly from my desktop to my iphone from inside Music, it will: 1) list every song as an album (with the workaround being to delete and add again) 2) will not add any artwork (nor is there anyway to add artwork) If I try to drag and drop from Library from inside Music: 1) I can add artwork, but cannot transfer to my iphone. Previously added music from my library can be added, just not the most recent. I simply do not understand why Apple computers are not up to the task of performing this very simple function. Thanks for any help.

iTunes won't let me drag and drop music to my phone anymore? Hi there, Up until recently, I've been able to just drag a music folder directly onto my phone in the "Devices" tab on the right of the iTunes window, and have it immediately sync onto my phone. But now when I try to do that, it just doesn't do anything at all. Dragging the album into iTunes first and then trying to sync it from there doesn't help either. I'm at a loss as to why this would be - as far as I can tell, nothing has changed. Can anyone help me?

The problem was the Album itself. The Album Info was wrong and it refused to sync because of it.
