Apple Music splitted and incomplete albums in library

I have this problem for a while now and i dont find a way to fix it.

When I add a complete album to my library most of the time, the albums get splitted in the library each with a hand full of songs and the rest missing. I tried to remove it from my library and add it again with the same result. Even after pressing add to library, it just shows me the "add to library" button again...

This happens on each device i have Iphone, Ipad, Mac with latest OS...

Can anyone help?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 18

This has been happening to me for years. I have never found an explanation for this. Adding an album, after a while it does show up as incomplete. It doesn't happen to all albums, it seems to be pretty random. I haven't found any pattern I can think of.

In those cases I sometimes delete that album and then add it again, and that will have all tracks added, and it would stay like that in some cases. But in some cases the album loses one or a few tracks after some time again.

The only thing I could possibly think of is that the publisher of the album sometimes replaces some of the tracks with updated versions. Kind of like version updates of software. That could possibly lead to those tracks "falling off" people's libraries so they have to add them again. But this is just my speculation.
