Music Memos Not Loading
Hi, my musical ideas on Music Memos will not load, but the titles still appear. the files will not load and eventually crashes. I know the app has been discontinued, and transfer of such to Voice Memos was suggested prior to that. But I'm just wondering if anyone knows how to retrieve/copy the ideas.pkg data from the Music Memos app as this previous post indicated they were succesful in doing . I would greatly appreciate the help as I too have lost several years worth of ideas and have had no solutions from custom service.

Thanks for your replies, unfortunately I believe that the app is just broken and will not be fixed as apple is discontinuing it.
The problem is with the app communication with iCloud and it just hangs when it tries to access the files.
I have managed to get the basic recordings onto my desktop by copying the ideas.pkg file where music memos stores its information and opening it using “show package contents” in the finder menu.
It’s lacking the chord information and the drums and bass parts which were part of the music memos files but at least the basic ideas are recovered.
I am disappointed that apple is killing the app which has been invaluable for creatives like me who want a quick way to capture ideas for review or later development.
It’s not clear whether any of the additional functionality will be available in voice memos or not.
