In the past, I’ve had the best results when syncing both devices immediately after updating them, and I did that again last weekend.
When I say “best sync result,” I mean I’ve never had perfect success, but this was the first time that all of the album artwork was synced.
I had been putting off updating my Mini to Sonoma, but since my iPhone was in the process of updating, I decided to update my Mini as well. The reason was that the Music Library on my iPhone was riddled with bugs: artwork failures, artist sorting failures, and as a last resort, multiple albums were split into separate entries in the album view. This last issue was a recurring problem that could be resolved by deleting and syncing the Music Library on my iPhone, a process that took over 4 hours with around 500 “albums”. Only part of the artist sorting failed this time.
Sorting failures remain an annoyance: I like to sort my music library by artist’s last name, so I edit the album information on the Mini, and not all of it transfers over to the iPhone. Adrian Belew is A-ordered on the iPhone, Brian Auger is B-ordered, Danny Gatton is D-ordered, Frank Zappa’s solo albums are F-ordered (but the Mothers Of Invention album is Z-ordered), John McLaughlin and Jimmy Herring are J-ordered (but all other McLaughlins are M-ordered), Lonnie Smith Trio is L-ordered, Trio Of Doom is M-ordered on the iPhone (but W-ordered on the Mini), Medeski, Scofield, Martin & Wood is S-ordered on the iPhone (but M-ordered on the Mini), two of the three Guitar Heroes various artists compilation discs are sorted by the artist of the first track (last name order?), but disc three is sorted appropriately for the compilation.
Yes, the 39 albums don’t sort the way you’d want them on an iPhone, but at least the artwork is all correct.
