I use Apple Music via CarPlay, and my absolute biggest annoyance is that it seems to force everything into pretending it was its' own album. For example, I have a "Recently Added" list that has random songs, none of which are entire albums, that I would like to play in order. Instead, Apple Music ***** the bed and acts as though each song is a different album, so when I choose one song and it ends, all music playback stops. It thinks that was the only song on the album, and it has now ended, so I go into awkward silence.

The way it should function is that the entire playlist should play. I don't have whole albums and none of the songs in this playlist should be organized that way. It's kind of a mess. Is there any way to fix this nonsense? Example in screenshot. None of those are an album, but CarPlay forces them to pretend they all are.

[doublepost=1512540462][/doublepost]I have the same problem and I don’t know how to fix it. Every time I go to my downloaded music and try to pull up my artist or albums, it kicks me to the recently played list. Let me know if you figure anything out.

Make a playlist comprised of these songs in the order you want. The playlist you are playing RECENTLY ADDED is more informational than functional.

Apple Music has its drawbacks and this is one of them. Every song tries to become its own album. You can sort the library by songs in alphabetical order which takes away the album view when sorted by artist. Find the songs you want and add to an actual playlist.

Even a playlist its only songs from a given album, to technically its still related to the album..

Its just a convenient way to manage multiple songs from any album u add to a simple playlist. But its probably the best your gonna get.
