iphone 5 music - artists not showing up after i delete them and then add more music by them

So, on the "Artists" tab, on the iPhone 5, I deleted a few artists by swiping on the right and pressing delete.


Later, I added some music by those artists, sometimes the same music that I had deleted.


These new albums show up on the "Albums" tab, but not the "Artists" tab. It has nothing to do with ID3 or any of that--the tags are correct, they just don't appear in the "Artists" tab because I had previously deleted the artists there.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?


Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPhone shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.


Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

First off thank you, this did solve the issue of the once-deleted artists not appearing.


However, this setting *****, compared to having "Group by Album Artist" turned on. So this is not really a sufficient solution.


Are we seriously the only two people who have deleted using the iphone interface and tried to re-add?
