I want to be able to import into Music [the app] but as far as I can tell, unlike Photos [the app] Music doesn't offer the option of storing my music remotely i.e not in the actual app itself, which occupies space on my HDD.
Is that the case or is there a workaround?
I took your remotely to mean in the cloud rather than external or network storage. See Make a split library portable - Apple Community for advice on moving your library off your primary hard drive. The process is essentially the same for Music, drag the entire library to another drive, then option-start-Music to access it there. If your Music library still has connections to a previous iTunes Media folder you will want to reset the media folder and consolidate to the new location.

If you have a subscription to either Apple Music or iTunes Match then once your content has been matched or uploaded you can right-click selected files and use remove download from the context menu to free up local storage. You should backup the whole library to an external drive before you start.

Forgive the shout but IT ISN'T SOLVED! I did not mark it as solved.
My question still stands. Is it possible to store un-downloaded music elsewhere (e.g on a USB stick) and still be able to access it via the app?
can i store music remotely and not in Music app?
