Music app on iPhone reverting back to changed t...

I use an iPhone 6s (16GB) iOS 10.3.2 and iTunes 12.6.1.25. On the stock iPhone Music app I like to change album titles and artist names so that my library is a little more organized. So, on iTunes I go to the song I want to change, click on "get info," and edit the track info the way I like it. But when I start playing the music on my iPhone, sometimes the titles that I change automatically start to revert back to the original info. It will show the song info as purchased the song.

For example: let's say I edited the song "One Dance (feat. Wizkid & Kyla)" Drake . If I change the album title from "One Dance (feat. Wizkid & Kyla) - Single" to "Views." I sync my phone and the changes are shown on my phone. But when I start playing the song on my phone it will automatically revert back to "One Dance (feat. Wizkid & Kyla)" - Single.

However, on my computer the titles in iTunes are still edited the way the I changed them. When I sync my phone directly after the changes take effect, it does not change the song info back to the way I like them despite my changes still remaining on iTunes on my computer.

The only temporary solution I have found is that if I delete the song from my phone and re-sync the song, it will match what is on iTunes temporarily. But it will only stay this way for a short while. After some plays (not exactly sure how many) it will change back to the original titles. Also, sometimes when I persistently delete and re-sync the song or buy new music it eventually songs won't have this problem anymore. But then other songs I edited a while back then will start to revert back to old info. So, I fix some songs then other songs start to have the problem.

I also have went into my settings and chose to hide Apple Music on my iPhone and computer (just in case it was Apple Music was the reason) [I had Apple Music for three months trial but haven't used it since.] I also do not have iTunes Match.

I use an app called MusixMatch when I listen to music to play lyrics on my phone. I doubt it, but is it possible for apps that have access to your music to change song info? Also, my library uses iCloud. The new update doesn't give me the option to turn off iCloud for my music on the computer nor on my iPhone.

I am wondering if there is a way to stop the song info on my iPhone from being automatically reverted back to original info, after the info was changed manually by me.

Just to make sure it is clear, the song info only is reverted back to the original song info on my iPhone. So on iTunes my changes remain intact, while on my iPhone the changes remain for a short while before changing back (usually as soon as I start listening to the song that I edited).

I appreciate any and all responses related to this issue. Thank you.

You may find that hiding the purchase (see Hide and unhide iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store purchases - Apple Support) prevents your device from reading the metadata from your purchased track and then applying it to the one that is already on the device,

I have exactly the same issue ! Tried hiding and unhiding. Seems such another stupid bug from an already broken and

The suggestion is to leave the purchase hidden. You already have a copy with the desired version of the metadata, so there is no need to use the cloud version from the store. But yes, I'd agree it is annoying bug.

I have figured that deleting the music app on my iPhone then re-syncing all my music using iTunes reverts all the music back to my edited song info. Usually after a while when it fetches for new artist pictures, I believe that at that time it also looks at titles and changes them. I am going to see how long it lasts. Hopefully for long! If it does change I will try your method of hiding the songs. 

If only there was a way to disallow iTunes from looking in your library. Apple needs to understand that if you give the user the ability to edit music manually on your computer, why should your iPhone music app revert the titles to the original iTunes Store titles automatically. Who would want even want that? If you really wanted the original titles you would leave the music as is, or redownload the song altogether if you made too many changes. Apple really needs to rethink this feature. I have looked back at other forums and it looks like this problem has lingered since iOS 7. If iTunes doesn’t fix this feature soon I will permanently move on to other music stores such as Google or Amazon so that my future songs won’t be changed by the iTunes Store when I edit the tracks.

I am hiding my music now. I will let you know the results after some time to evaluate if the tracks do not revert to the original settings. Hopefully this helps!
