Fix Apple Music Error 3561 – Clear Multiple Tags on MP3 Files

Another common cause of Apple Music error 3561 is caused by old MP3 files.

Sometimes, older tracks in MP3 format can have multiple tags listed in the file. This can cause issues when integrating MP3 files stored in the Cloud, into Apple Music.

To work around this issue, you can remove the multiple tags in iTunes. Before trying the following steps, please be aware that any artwork associated with the track or album will be lost, and will need to be added manually later.

The following steps were shared in an Apple Community thread as a fix for the above problem:

  • Open iTunes and navigate to ‘File’.
  • Select ‘Convert’, then ‘Convert ID3 Tags’, then select ‘None’.
  • Repeat if necessary

The next step is to then build a fresh tag using the information stored in the iTunes database using the following instructions:

  • In iTunes, navigate back to ‘File’ and ‘Convert’.
  • Finally, select ‘Convert ID3 Tags’ again and then ‘v2.3’.

The user in the thread reports that selecting v2.3 is most likely to succeed as iTunes supports v2.3 widely and is less likely to produce an error.

You may also come across other errors on Apple Music, including 9039. This is a common error reported by users that can be resolved in a few simple steps.
