Hi tt2
Having always in the past downloaded purchases in iTunes I've not started doing so until recently in Monterey.
I'm probably just not used to the Music app way of doing things (hate change), but any idea why if I go to iTunes Store>Purchased and download pas purchases some are going to the Apple Music folder as HLS Media encoded files, whereas others go to the Music folder as actual downloads?
When you look at default folder naming too it's confusing:
Username>Music>Music>Media>Music
Utterly daft in my view to have nested folders with those names.
