Apple staff should have posted this already, SHAME ON THEM!!

Hey Tomas 143!

At your playlist you have to click on edit and add:

Mediatype is Music

that should sort your list the rigth way on your device

😉

No solution from Apple yet, huh?

I'm having problems similar to what others here have described - songs don't play, songs play but display incorrect title/artwork, songs skip to the next song, etc.

Kind of a pain! I have a trip coming up this weekend and would rather not put the old CD case back in the car...

FYI, I have a 32 gb ITouch iPod 3.

together with iOS 5 Music.app on iPad doesn't support audiobook chapters and Since iOS5 audiobooks only play a chapter at a time. It would appear that Apple Software Engineering assigned a small team in training to develop a new Music app for the iPad and they didn't have sufficient supervision. Normally a product manager has a checklist of features and functionality for a product element such as the Music app on the iPad and then Q/A verifies that the product of engineering meets the requirements.

There's just so much totally wrong with the Music app that it must have been ignored by the usual processes that ensure excellence of design and engineering at Apple. Almost as if no one really gave a darn but that's so un-Apple like -;)

Hey knut 100 can you expand on your directions as I do not see that option on my devices or on my Mac Computer that hosts iTunes so not sure where or how to add in Media Type is Music. Thanks

I have solved the problems I am having. I re-synced music wirelessly and (touch wood) artwork problems appear solved. Let's hope and pray this lasts.

The second problem I was having, that music is sorted by album artist, so soundtracks and compilations are harder to group with the artist's own albums, is solved too. In "Settings", click "Music", and switch off "Group By Album Artist". I then had to switch the iPhone off and on again, but it's fixed.

Worked for me too, using a 3GS.

Seriously re-sync my iPod touch doesn't seem to solve any issues for Music app on iOS 5. I can't even listen to music over a long period of time because of the Music app keeps crashing and even displays multiple duplicates of my albums while iTunes shows only one of each of my albums as normal. Can somebody help me? M using a PC (Windows 7).

Has anyone had any luck with the "hook your iPod to iTunes, Unsync your music so it's wiped off your iPod, then resync it again so iTunes re-loads all your music to the iPod"? I just tried unsyncing and resyncing one playlist, and that didn't work. The playlist is still messed up (won't play, skips tracks, etc.)

Yes, i've tried re-sync or un-sync with or without playlists over 7 times and nothing works, my iPod is still messed up like you said. And yes, i counted every single time!!! Seems like Apple doesn't care for iPod touch anymore. Geez, we JUST have to wait for a new version of iOS 5, like another whole month at the least. it's like begging Apple for using their softwares and still pay for them. Customer satisfaction is reduced to zero % for me!!!

Strange, already read everything here and my problem with Music App (related to iOS5) seems to be different than yours.

The only problem that I'm experiencing is that when I tilt the iPod to select the Album Cover, the covers start to appear very slow and when I start to navigate through it, it simply freeze and crash. So when I'm listening music now, I have to get out of the Music App just in case of tilting the iPod and avoid crashing.

Any suggestions?

I already restored it twice!

i understand what u're saying. it's true what u said might help but i've tried everything and nothing works okay. So the best solution is to lock rotation and listen in portrait mode...god i really love and reeeeeeaaaaallly miss the coverflow. Anyway, i can listen to music but still shows duplicates both in portrait mode and in coverflow unless i delete them manually (by that i mean one by one and yes it's so very IRRITATING!!!) Oh yeah, whenever i put it in coverflow and as i slide foward (very glitchy and slowy and sluggish and full of errors) it crashes and revert back to the homescreen! This, i think, is the BIGGEST PROBLEM, i mean Apple launched iOS 5 equipped with problems. Which raised a question: What is an iPod (touch) without music???

YES!!! This is exactly what m experiencing at the very irritating moment. We just have to wait for the next update then, very exited with dissatisfaction, indeed.

I have the same issue but it seems the work around (that I found worked) was to delete the album off of your phone's music app and then re-sync and it will be added back. That seems to work. On another subject, when I upgraded to iOS5, my phone's capacity was chewed up by 6 GB...wow! I only have 14 GB and over 6 GB is listed as "Other".
