Have Apple Music recognize local files instead of trying to download from cloud
I had my previous iTunes/Music app pointed to a directory under Dropbox (e.g. home/Dropbox/Music/). Underneath that Music directory, all the albums and songs are organized the way iTunes wanted it. (e.g. Dropbox/Music/Music/artist name/album name/01 song title )
After getting my laptop back for a keyboard replacement the drive is wiped and I would like Music to point to the directory again. However, I've tried selecting the directory under Preference > Files as well as launching Music and holding option and trying to "Choose Music Library". In both cases, I see my entire list of music but selecting "Get Info" on any song shows the location as "cloud". If I turn off Wifi as a test, any music in the list doesn't play indicating that it doesn't know about the local version of the file.
Question: is there way to get Music to recognize my old folder as its local music folder so that I can access this music without being online?
