Music app digital books

when I search for songs on my Mac, digital books are included. How do I not include them in the Music app count?

unable to search music library My Apple Music app will not search my music library which is stored on an external 2TB drive - I have made sure it is not on the privacy list. So when searching for a song tittle I just get the magnifying glass and no action - except the Apple store library which I don't want. Any help appreciated. (I Mac Monterey)

Apple Music subscription ending - what happens to my uploaded music? Hi, My Apple Music subscription is ending as my mobile contract is ending and it came with that. I am aware once it has ended, I will no longer have access to the songs in my library and any playlists created using music from Apple Music. Prior to subscribing, I uploaded my own MP3 tracks from various different artists to my Apple Music library. These are tracks I purchased on CDs and uploaded myself to my Apple Music library, and they were not accessed as a result of my Apple Music subscription. Will I lose access to these too please, or will my library just shrink to only show them? If it is the former, how can I get these out of Apple Music library before it ends please? Dragging and dropping, export, and burn to CD are all greyed out or non-functional. Thank you

You can make a smart playlist that excludes digital booklets, and perhaps music videos too, then use View > Show Filter Field to search within that playlist.
