    Songs appear separate despite being from the same album

    Hi everyone, Since iOS 13, and upto current iOS 14 songs on the music app appear as every song was from a separate album, I already checked metadata, (and this never happen before iOS 13), check the screenshot for more details(I have put only one album but appears one album per song)

    After I upgraded to Catalina recently, I noticed that hitting Spacebar in the new Apple Music app did NOT pause/restart the current song, but restarted the playing song from the beginning. Also, Return does nothing but make the system beep. This Apple Support page states clearly that the...

    In Apple's Music.app, how can I search among comment ID3 tags?

    I use the comment ID3 tag to apply sub-genres to my songs (e.g. a song by Metallica will have 'Rock' in the genre tag, and also 'Metal' in the comment tag). Prior to Catalina, in iTunes, I used to be able to use the search functionality to search my library using comment tags. Now, in Music.app...
