Music storing files in multiple locations __ Excessive storage space use 168gb!
My default folder for the Music app on Mac is /Macintosh HD/Users/justin/Music/Music/Media. This has around 80gb on it as I add and download the albums I enjoy from the library. I download these because I don't have internet all the time.
I have another folder /Macintosh HD/Users/justin/Music/JUSTIN MUSIC COLLECTION with my personal, owned music files spanning 25 years. They have been imported and are integrated into the library. This file is 185gb.
[ ]Copy files to music media folder when adding to library (UNCHECKED)
[x]Automatic downloads (CHECKED, yes I want albums downloaded when I add them to library)
[ ]Add songs to library when adding to playlist (UNCHECKED)
All this is fine with me. The problem is the Music App is using an additional 168gb according to Storage. I can't even access these files! What is going on?
