Make Music.app see and use MY files first and foremost
My library is a complete mess after using Apple Music for a few years.
Now I see that many files which I own, are downloaded from Apple Music, and they are not stored in the folder containing MY music files.
The Bowie files shown in the screenshot (left: Apple Music, files. Right: My files) are split mid-album. Many in the Apple Music Folder are duplicated as well.. Most are DRM Apple Music files. Why?
There are so many of these examples, and I dont know how to make the Music.app use MY files. there are several folders with duplicates in them, ending with a number. The numbered ones are the ones from Apple Music, and I do not want them! I want MY DRM free files!
MY files were also uploaded using iTunes Match several years ago... why aren't those files used? There are several of them in the library.
I have backups, so I can find them, but the Music app does not use them if I just drop them in the correct folder...
I regret ever subscribing to Apple Music... buying the tracks I want when new music comes out would probably be cheaper anyway...
Do i have to unsubscribe before I can start cleaning up this mess?
These backups work perfectly fine:
