All my recently added songs go to "Unknown Album" in Apple Music Desktop

Apple Music 1.4.5.36 Desktop

Sonoma 14.5

Mac Pro Tower (2019)


All my "Recently Added" songs go to "Unknown Album" folder in Apple Music.

I used to get a listing for each separate song in "Recently Added" menu item.

How do I get back to a separate listing for each song "Recently Added" menu?

What is the source of these tracks? Do they come with relevant metadata? An untagged track will be listed with its file name as a song name and no other information so fall under an Unknown Artist/Unknown Album listing. Ideally every track should have at minimum an artist and an album set as well a song title. For best results also include album artist, track & disc numbers & counts, year, genre, and embedded artwork. For a single where you don't have an album name to give it use the song name as the album title and set the track/disc numbers/counts all to 1.
