Hi there,
My brother, who is not very computer literate, is having some issues with his iTunes library and I can't figure out why this is occurring. I have googled this and seen others are having similar issues, but I can't find an answer. Hoping someone here can help.
First I should say my brother has a large music collection. Probably 75 gig+ by now. I would guess that 60% of his library is iTunes purchases, 30% is imported from CD's, and 10% is from other sources such as Bandcamp etc.
I don't think this would be relevant, but just in case I will say that he does not pirate music. There is nothing pirated on his machine.
This is the problem...
He arranges his library by genre. He also makes several custom genres. He will get everything arranged the way he likes it, and life will go along fantastic for several weeks. Then one day he will turn on his computer and several albums (often 50+) have changed their genres and/or re-arranged themselves.
He sync's his library with just 1 iPod classic. He has an iPhone also but does not sync music to it.
It does appear that this is only happening to music purchased in iTunes. He can't find an example of this happening to a song obtained through other means. So my original assumption that this could be a Gracenote issue isn't likely.
His software, both OS X and iTunes is current and up to date.
Any ideas/solutions? Thanks in advance!
