I need my musi back!

I had hundreds of hours of music copped to iTunes and with last year’s update I lost them all! WHY?? This was my music from my own cds. I don’t want to pay Apple Music for that which I owned! I hav an old Mac with Catalina and have tried through that but, that Mac doesn’t recognize my devices. Please help me get my music back.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14

Management of the location of songs in iTunes Mac Hello everyone, I just made a fantastic new discovery: when I drag a song into the iTunes window, regardless of the Preferences chosen, the song will go into a "music" folder, rather than surreptitiously going to store nicely in the artist's folder already present in my base folder. Same when I have to search for a song that has lost its link. In addition, impossible to register as before additional information in the tag of the piece: it will not be found in the same piece, but I discover on closer inspection, that are in the same folder: the piece of original plus a copy of the song with the addition I made!!! Morality, I have already evacuated, ONE AT A TIME (sic!) 2 T of duplicates, while pieces continue to be added to this famous 'music' folder. I've been in a divorce from iTunes for two ages now and of course no one on the hotline seems to know about any of this, so any observations haven't been escalated to the devs, the problems persist, and worse, they're getting worse . How do you do, those like me who have to go through the throes of this program which should be our beloved Apple's best ever? Thank you for your attention and all the best.

Apple TV 4K (2022) won't play (can't find?) any of the music I "burned" from old CDs or bought on iTunes I just connected a new Apple TV 4K device (2022) to my LG TV and LG soundbar. When I go to the Music app, most of my own music (3,133 songs) is missing. There are only a couple of albums and a few other "loose" songs. What happened to my music? I can still see everything on my Mac, IPhone and iPad. When I look at the Account Settings in Music on my Mac, I don't see anything about an Apple TV. Under Manage Devices, I see my iPad Pro and iPhone listed, but it says these devices are associated for playing previously purchased music. As a side note, it says both of these devices aren't able to be associated with a different Apple ID. I doubt that's the problem I have with the Apple TV, but I wonder if that's going to cause a problem in a few more days. Thanks.
