Hi everybody. Sorry this is a double post (kind of ironic), but the other forum I posted apparently was not the best one for this query. (PS: am I totally missing a Music app forum?? I swear I can't find one.)

Anyway... I still have songs from iTunes that I import into my iPhone (iOS14.2). It is importing the some songs twice (or perhaps even more--I haven't checked all of them).

I suspect this is because I have the same song in two playlists. That's how I import the music--by playlist. But... isn't the iPhone/Music "smart" enough to not import the same song twice, even if it is in two playlists? Have I checked an option somewhere in settings to do this? Update: actually there are some songs being double imported, which are NOT in two playlists, so now I'm even more baffled.

I have looked through settings and found nothing that looked to be responsible.

I don't think this is iCloud-related: these are all songs on my desktop which I sync to the iPhone. I do not use iCloud for music.
