Just found out that this doesn't happen if I turn WiFi off, I don't have Apple Music, under iCloud everything is turned off for Music.


I don't know why this happens, seems like its trying to save the library to iCloud or to make a back up


Tried blocking connections with radio silence but even if I block the app, on the activity monitor I can still see it's sending packages
