Song Title Issue

[vortex1082]

Not sure where else to ask in this. I recently bought an album on iTunes from my phone directly. The names are incorrect it shows the title of every song as the title of the album. I have gone to iTunes on the PC and manually changed the names and synced my phone but they are still incorrect. I have also tried deleting and downloading again but still wrong. Any ideas would be great. Thank you.

Is your phone updated? Chances are, your phone is cataloging the files on its own and would display the titles wrong. An update could possibly resolve this.

Currently up to date on software.

just upload one song so you don't go crazy, and make sure the format is for phones like mp3, or what ever phones accepts music today.
also check to see if your phone can play authorized music?

@Expobill your response is not thought through very well. Thread Starter has bought the music from the iTunes store on his/her iphone. Format is taken care of by iTunes/Apple Music, so no need to check if the phone can play authorized music. It should all work just fine, but it doesn't.

It's probably a little glitch, one of which I've never heard of by the way, but have no idea how to resolve it.

In my experience, if you normally auto-sync music from your iTunes library, but buy music directly from the iPhone, the iPhone purchases seem to remain on the iPhone in a separate category from synced songs. So if the purchase gets transferred to your library and then you edit the tags there, that does not seem to change the tags of the versions on the iPhone.

In the few times I've bought music directly from my iPhone, next time I re-sync to my iTunes library I go to the Music sync section of the iPhone (as seen through iTunes). Below the sync options for Playlists, Artists, Genres, and Albums, you may see "Manually added music" (or something to the effect). Here is where direct-to-iPhone purchases seem to live, and you can manually delete them. Then re-sync the album from your library to get the edited versions back on your iPhone.

I actually tried to deleted and sync by iTunes. Same result as I have now.
