My Question or Issue

I tried to play a song I have saved and downloaded, lower one's Eyes by ぬゆり, and the audio of will stetsons cover played instead. This repeated when playing the song from the artist, when playing from search, and after restarting the app. I suppose this is likely from the merging of duplicates by the same artist, but these songs are by different artists. I love the original and the cover, but if I try to play the original I want to hear the original. This is a Japanese vocaloid song, and the cover is English and not vocaloid. I am not paying money for my songs to be randomly overwritten. Fix it.

Hi there @VStarT,

Thanks for letting us know about this. 

I tested this myself and can confirm that I hear the same. To verify, these are the version you're referring to, correct?

Will Stetson cover:

Original (which plays the same as the above):

We've gone ahead and reported this to the correct team. If there's anything else similar you've noticed, let us know and when doing so, always send us the specific links or URIs of the affected content.

Let us know if there's anything else we can do for you.

Yes!

Update: it has been a full week and it has gotten worse! The song now fully redirects to will stetson's English covers rather than just having the audio overwritten- you can even see this in the embeds from the moderator's response. The album cover, artist, and lyrics have changed to will stetsons rather than it showing ぬゆり's data and playing will stetsons audio.

Thanks for the update, @VStarT!

We'll take another look into this 👍. The Community is just a post away if there's anything else you need assistance with in the meantime.

This is still happening, it is safe to assume nothing is being done about it.

Me and my friends have tested from different devices to make sure it wasn't just me. Behaves exactly like this post is describing, as cache is updated over time you see less and less of the original.
