"Art Done" music app glitch

When syncing music locally, over USB to my Mac, some albums are showing all the song names as "Art Done". See attached screenshot.


99% of albums sync fine, except these few. Oddly enough, when the songs play or are viewed in the list of songs, the names show up fine.


Anyone else experiencing this? Never have had this happen in the 11 years I've synced with iTunes.

At a guess you've used the Grouping field in the past to make notes about tag changes you wanted to make, and Art Done would imply that you've checked and added correct artwork. A while back the field that held the Grouping value in mp3 files was repurposed to become Work, and Grouping given a new internal field. If you sync tracks with non-empty values for Work, but no corresponding information for Movement Name and Number then all you see is a repeated value for Work where Name should be. Delete the values in Work, optionally copying to Grouping first, then sync with your device.
