Album name not shown on app when playing songs

I’m playing music from a personal library on a NAS, with the music managed by the Apple Music app on an iMac.

Everything set up according to instructions etc - and everything works, plays etc. So far, so good. Metadata is correctly registered.

But - the play screen on the app does not show album correctly. It shows some iTunes Library XML gibberish. On the MacOS app, album is shown correctly (image following in a post below)

Is there something to do to correct this? Or is it yet another thing that hasn’t quite caught up btewwen the old and the new app?

PS: Could we get correct sorting of names with starting with “The” and “A” - dropping these from the sort order as it should be?

Is there a reason why you don’t just add the NAS location as a music library in Sonos, rather than using Apple music?  I feel that is your issue.
