Ventura: somehow have 2 Music files: Music>music and Music>music1 files with parts of the full list in each. How do I combine them?

With OS Sonoma I on my M1 iMac I somehow ended up with my music filessplit between 2 locations: User>Music>Music and User>Music>Music1. My whole song colllection is now spread between the 2 different Music>Music files. How do I Iget both partial sets into 1 larger file called Music as it should be?


iMac 24″, macOS 14.4

See Managing your Mac media libraries - Apple Community for some background. Do you have two libraries as well as two media folders? Is the same content in each or is one larger than the other? Do you have an Apple Music subscription? If so you could perhaps expect to see all of the same items in either library, although what is downloaded to local storage could be different.


In broad strokes to combine them you pick one library, import any content that only exists in the other library/media folder, consolidate all content to main media folder, then discard any remnants of the old library that exist outside of the current one. See also Duplicate songs in iTunes/Music - Apple Community if there are duplicates that need to be eliminated.
