Music Crash in Catalina

Hi,

I've done a clean install of Catalina on my 2012 MBP and also moved the location of where my MP3 files were saved.

When I select "Use this location to find missing files" in Music, it crashes and closes, please see crash report below. I've tried new installations, new users, safe mode, but nothing will rectify it.

Can anyone please help? Literally pulling my hair out. The log was too large to upload, hope I've I've included the part needed.

Thanks

Darren

I'm afraid I cannot help with deciphering the crash report, but can you not put the files back where they came from to repair the library and then either move the library as a unit if it is in the right shape, or consolidate the media to the new path so that Music is in charge of the process rather than trying to fix something you broke? Ideally, when the library is working properly, you would put the Music library at <Volume>/Music, option-start-music to connect to <Volume>/Music/Music Library.musiclibrary, use Music > Preferences > Files to reset the media location to <Volume>/Music/Media if needed, then use File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate Files to bring in the media. Backup to a second drive for security, then delete the originals from the system drive that are no longer connected to the active library.
