Bounced M4A to MP3 Not Showing Up

When I bounce a track fromm Garageband® (10.4.11) as a Highest Quality (iTunes Plus 256 kBit/s) and then using Apples Music app to covert that into an MP3, that coverted file is nowhere to be found.


Anyone have any idea to what might be going on?


Thankks in advance.

Is Apple Music keeping your music folder organized? Converted tracks will usually show in the same folder as the source file because that is where they would go according to their album and artist details. After converting a track there should be an additional entry in the library. You can right-click this and use Show in Finder.

Right on, but in the GB fields at bouncing or the sahre music function, as the author and composer (both the same) everything used to show up in that folder in the finder, as well as the GB Playlist.


When I am changing a collection of song’s album tracks in a given projecct, that is the only field I ever change as to keep my takes and tracks organized.


Just now I bounced down a different take on the same project and inside the Music app selected the M4A to show in finder and there were the last three MP3s 🥴
