How to organize unrecognized tracks on iPhone

Find unnamed songs and give recordings useful names.

Quick answer

Use the “Unidentified” filter in the Library. Identify ordinary songs again, or name interviews, stories, and original recordings yourself and add them to playlists.

Step by step

    Open “Library” → “Songs” and select “Unidentified”. Clear any other filters you do not need.

  2. Choose how to add details

    For several songs, tap “Select” and “Recognize Again”. For spoken or original audio, listen and edit each track’s information yourself.

  3. Name and organize the audio

    Use a topic, date, or version in the name, then add it to a playlist. You can search for the name even if the track still appears as unidentified.

Common questions

Does unidentified mean the file is broken?

No. Play it to check the audio. A missing song match does not prevent saving or listening.

Why does a renamed track still appear as unidentified?

A name you enter yourself is separate from the online identification status. Use the title and playback to check your work.
