User level: Level 1 (4 points)So I have a TB of vinyl albums on a card on my Android to transfer to iPhone. Music allowed movement of 4 albums flawlessly, then when I add more as a folder it breaks the songs up and labels them as unknown albums for each song, What happened?

Apple Music depends on the metadata in the files to generate the albums and sort the songs correcly.
If the songs' metadata does not match between them they will get different albums generated for them.
You need to make sure the metadata for Artist and Album on each song file is the same for the same album, and only changes song title and track number.
Once added to Apple Music on your PC you can right click on tracks and then on Get Info or Details to set the Metadata correctly. You can select multiple tracks at once and edit theire meta data together, so it's all the same.
