Hi,
When I import audio files without metadata I'd like them stored in a logical folder structure so I can find them easily. However, Apple Music moves places the files into the Unknown Artist and Unknown Album folder which is now a mass of files.
Is there anyway to manually add files to a folder, import to Apple Music and the files remain in the folder I placed them in?
Thanks

LB Tech,
Yes. In Music Preferences on the Files tab, make sure that "Keep..." and "Copy..." are both not checked (ticked). Then for any song you add to your library, the file will stay right where you already put it.

Thank you, that has worked. I appreciate your help.
LB - You're welcome. :-)
