My iTunes says I have 2253 items for 19GB. When I go into About My Mac and then into Storage
it says my Music is taking up 204 GB. What is going on?
MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), iOS 7.0.4
What you see in the library and what's in your itunes Media folder may or may not be the same thing.
The library is songs you've added to iTunes for playing.
There could be files in the media folder that aren't added to the library, so you won't see them.
Also, your Music library is only one of your libraries. Do you have Movies, audiobooks, apps or downloaded podcasts too?
And lastly, Album art. BIG art takes a lot of space, sometimes up to 1.5 mb per file, per song. That's included in the Music of your storage assessment because it's part of the MP3 metadata.

That is Music in only in iTunes.

That is all Audio (not only music) on your computer, not only in your iTunes linrary.
Where do you see "Music" listed? I see Audio.
