Apple Music : Disappearance of Songs and Albums
On opening Music, I can no longer see any of my accumulated music files, except the (now infamous) U2 download Songs of Innocence. Note that I have not purchased any music directly from Apple and do not use iCloud storage.
(1) Where are the songs and albums stored on my Mac Studio machine?
(2) Can the songs and albums be restored readily with Time Machine?
(3) How can this situation be avoided/protected against in future?
Thanks, in advance, for any guidance!
Mac Studio, macOS 12.5
