It then\u00a0started overwriting the album art with\u00a0the wrong art on both his iMac and his iPhone, Songs were put into albums randomly and placed where they didn&#8217;t belong. Even worse, when he&#8217;d click to listen to certain songs, it would play the wrong song\/artist<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;\">Sometimes force quitting the Music app and relaunching can fix the issue, even though there can be problems with some of the songs in this case.
