Albums in Music Randomly Splitting After ios 17 Update

After the ios 17 update, albums in my music randomly started splitting themselves into multiple albums. For example, it will appear in my music that I have 4 copies of Ed Sheeran's "X" album. However, when opened, each album only contains a few songs from the whole album. As these are albums that I purchased from the iTunes store, I tried deleting them and redownloading it. When the album was redownloaded, it was once again split into multiple parts.


So far, the only way I have found to condense the split albums back into one is to delete the album from my iPhone, connect my phone to my computer, and manually add the album back to my phone from iTunes. It is important to note: when I originally bought these albums from the iTunes store, they downloaded as one album. It was only recently that they randomly split themselves into multiple parts. While it is - all things considered - a minor issue, it is also admittedly very annoying and at times inconvenient.


Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, was there a particular fix that you found? It seems to me that redownloading the music from the iTunes store isn't going to fix the problem, and having to delete and then add each album back to my phone via iTunes on my computer is very tedious. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
