iTunes Match duplicates songs and does not update my music library
Hi,
I have found people with the same issue in this forum (https://communities.apple.com/de/thread/200024844) but their questions were not answered, so posting anew.
I have used iTunes Match for 2 years and (since May) also Apple Music. I use my private Mac to store all my music locally (33,000+ songs) basically ripped CDs and also some music bought on the iTunes store.
On this (main) Mac, a couple of days ago my entire music library was duplicated and now I have every song in 2 versions in my library:
- The new version of the songs seems to be the iTunes Match version (256 AAC with the download icon).
- The old songs have an exclamation mark and in the cloud column show the blue cloud icon with exclamation mark.
Clicking on that icon (#2) brings an error message "Object could not be added to your library because of an error" (translated from German). Theses songs however, still seem to be physically available and I can play them.
On my iPhone and business Mac my music is still available through iTunes Match, no duplicates.
I clicked to update my music library, re started iTunes, logged out of my iTunes account and in again, nothing helped.
Help is highly appreciated. Many thanks,
Eric
