After a Catalina upgrade on my MacBook Pro, apple Music does not recognise my playlists and I continually get the message "the music library file cannot be saved. a file was specified instead of a folder." Checking in preferences the Music Media folder location is indeed a folder NOT a file. Any ideas how to clear it please?
MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14
I think I just answered my own question! Always pays to read what others have written first. Somehow the .itl file location became corrupted after the Catalina upgrade - I found this in an earlier response to a similar query:
macOS 10.15 Catalina
If you're missing expected content in the Music or TV apps after upgrading to Catalina try holding down option as you start either app and browse to the location of your previous iTunes Library to attempt the upgrade again.
This worked for me - I located the old iTunes library (in an iTunes media folder) and my playlists have been recovered. Thanks to Turingtest2 for the tip.
