"Unknown Artist" comes up on iPhone music library for some albums even though they have an artist in iTunes, Also some artwork not showing on iPhone even though the artwork for the album is on the iTunes library on my iMac

Trying to copy full albums onto my iphone 5s, some (About 25%) albums have "unknown artist" where the artist should be, even though they have the correct artist names in Itunes on my MBP.

Also some albums dont have artwork on the iphone but it is there on itunes on my MBP.

Is there a fix?


(itunes 11.1.2, iphone 7.0.3)

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.3

When you fix track names and album art in iTunes the information is written to an XML database and not to the file itself. You can use Doug's scripts to embed meta information to the file.

There is also an iTunes vbscript if you're using windows.
