Steps to fixing this problem:


  1. Wipe your iphone completely
  2. Set it up again from scratch
  3. Start transferring music again. Shouldn't take more than 3-10 hours because Catalina.
  4. Yay, your album names are back.
  5. Put up with the fact that now half your album art is missing again...
