I don't know how it happened, but Apple Music "reorganized" my music and screwed many things up. I wanted to recover an old version of my library. I went to my Time Machine backups and tried to recover
Music/Music/Music Library.musiclibrary
from a few days ago, however, when I do this, I still see the same *!$@%-busted music library.
Do I have the correct file location? What am I missing?
After restoring the Music Library.musiclibrary file from backup, press and hold down option as you launch Music, click the choose library option, and select your restored file.
Note that if you have a subscription to the Apple Music service or iTunes Match and Sync Library is enabled the library will revert to whatever is currently stored in the cloud. In addition restoring the database alone will restore ratings, play counts, and playlists, but it won't revert any changes that have been stored in file tags. These will be revealed as you play content. If you've unintentionally changed metadata then you might need to restore the entire Music folder, or the media folder if you're connected to a legacy iTunes Media folder for example.
