Has iTunes match gone haywire?

Another post basically saying that I, too, have been having this problem since yesterday. It is also affecting Apple TV -- browsing albums on ATV shows the same mess (split albums, wrong artists, etc. etc.) as on my iOS devices. Oddly, some of the album art has been replaced with incorrect artwork even in the iTunes library on my Mac!

At least there have been some amusing combinations on the ATV -- Rolling Stones performing Brahms chamber music, and Adele performing Aqualung, with cover art from an album I don't have ...

I guess I could always delete all the music on my iPhone (about 6100 tracks) and then sync with a wire from my Mac, but that process has never worked flawlessly either.

Just wanted to chime in and tell everyone; yes, I have this problem too.

• Artists are being divided into several entries.
• Some solo artists associated with one band are suddenly appearing next to their old band (Mark Knopfler adjacent to Dire Straits etc.).
• Various artists records also appearing, seemingly, at random next to other artists.
• Erroneous album art is appearing. For instance, Gimme All Your Lovin' by ZZ Top is clearly from the Eliminator album (and I have this information in my Itunes), but Itunes Match suddenly put some weird collection cover on that tune.

What are you doing, Apple? Fix this!

I've just came to the support forums after noticing this problem. I see it's a wide spread problem. But in my case I've noticed it in a different way. I use Apple Remote app on my iPhone and iPad to control my AppleTV and play my music on it using iTunes Match. I've found that all the albums and artist are also screwed up on my Apple Remote app.

Same Issue - everything showing correctly on my MacBook but my iOS devices are screwed. Tried a full restore...same issues. Getting tired of this kind of service for something that I pay for!

Been watching this thread after first doing heaps of testing and reporting on macrumors forums.

Have a support chat logged now and am waiting for a response.

AFAIK, this is limited to:

IOS 8.3

(possibly) songs that iTunes Match as being by a different album artist. Or when an album has songs that have an album artist AND another track, no album artist. However I am unable to replicate this manually, so cannot speculate this is an Apple Music preparation issue.

I'm having exactly the same problem on my iPhone and iPad! It's just been like this for a few days!

I'm on to support as well at the minute - worse than useless...switch phone on/off, turn ,such on/off. When I asked them if they were aware of a major issue, response was no and that I was the first person calling. Bored with this so tweeted the head honcho

Wondering if we could all be honest to try and figure this out
Ill admit, my library is 99% pirated** , and I have ALOT of duplicate artists compared to my brother who has no issues (all iTunes bought music).

** Obligatory and honest statement .. "I make myself broke going to concerts and buying merch to support the artists I love. Please don't flame me

I could be wrong, but I think Im onto something. I suspect this is an Apple Music prep issue, and is affecting the way Apple is handling our non-tunes sourced content on iOS8.3

My library is 100% legit. And 50% is purchased from iTunes. I'm actually seeing MORE problems with purchased content.

Not for me - I've got music bought from the iTunes Store that's being wrongly split up or showing against the wrong artist. Library on my MacBook is working perfectly...it's something to do with iOS accessing the cloud.

Same here - when apple mess up they really do it big time!

Dam, thought i was onto something 😟

Just look at the mess Apple put me in:

I really do think is due to Apple Music preparation.

Makes me a bit nervous, considering a lot of content has been "uploaded" in iTunes match even though theres an exact match in the iTunes store.

Sigh. C'mon apple, I own a lot of your products and badly wants this to work

Latest on support call - escalated to a senior support guy who's asked me to switch off match on all devices, including macbook, and then switch it back on the macbook first to try and force a refresh of the metadata....now been stuck for over an hour on 'waiting for apple to deliver your iTunes match results'...
