I haven’t been following this thread closely, but when I read the quoted part above I couldn’t help but think of a post I made way back in Nov. So when you manually re-created the Library from the file store, they were found. Without knowing more details, it would appear that at some point Music removed the tracks from your Library, but didn’t move the files to the Trash. If, on the other hand, you don’t have Music move files to the library, and you leave the files in their original locations, then you probably don’t want to move them to the Trash (since you will probably want to keep accessing them from their location). If you let Music manage your library (where the tracks are stored in the directory tree Music maintains), you probably want to move the file to the Trash, since you probably don’t usually go digging through the Library folders looking for the files. The choice to not move the file to the trash is the default. If you don’t, the file remains wherever it was, but it is no longer in your library. I don’t know the actual cause, but I do know that when you delete songs from your Music library, you are asked whether or not you want to move the song file to the Trash.

I’m now using Dupin to track down and deal with duplicate songs in my library, a big improvement over the well-hidden and frankly laughable duplicate-finder in the Music app. After cutting the cord, I subsequently found over 20GB of Apple Music tracks still lurking on my iMac, despite my having told Music to remove all those downloads. Working out which albums I’d need to reacquire (or re-rip from CD) because I no longer had the original tracks was just the start. I’ve had lots of ‘fun’ the last few months as I extricated myself from Apple Music. ![]() if you subscribe to their streaming service, well and good. A number of apple and ex-apple folks of my acquaintance have said that the fruity corpse is no longer interested in those of us with carefully curated downloaded/ripped libraries.
