Apple Music Library Uploads Limited To 10,000 songs.

Hello,

I'm a week into a trial of Apple Music and have attempted to upload my library, but it appears to have limited uploads to a limit of 10,000 songs.

I have less than 1,000 songs which haven't uploaded, none of these are showing as 'ineligible', but are 'waiting'. In fact most are parts of albums which have had some songs uploaded.

Is this limit of 10,000 a feature of of the trial, or is there a simple solution?

Many thanks.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

That option ( right-click > Add to Library) doesn't exist.

However, after ejecting and reconnecting the disk where my music is stored the amount of 'waiting' songs has greatly reduced. It seems I had EXACTLY 10,000 songs in my library, as after deleting 2 albums I'd added from Apple Music I now have 9,978! How odd I had exactly 10,000?!

Thanks again, I think I've sorted it all out.

Select a few tracks that are marked as waiting, right-click, use Add to Library if available. Any change? If not you may have to sign out of your Apple ID and sign in again in the hopes of restarting the process.

The limit is supposed to be 100,000 songs. For content that is waiting try File > Library > Update Cloud Library to restart the upload/matching process.
