iansen Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 My Set Up So I have a hard disc plugged directly into my Auralic Aries. All my music is in a folder called "Zen Trax" on the hard disc. My hard disc is called "iansen music 2024 external ssd". I control the music using Auralic's Lightning DS App. Previously (ie before my new MacBookAir running Sonoma 14.5): I was using iTunes on an old MacBookPro. To add tracks I would just open iTunes on my MacBookPro, ensure in my settings that the music library was pointed to the "Zen Trax" folder on my hard disc, and then import the tracks. I could do this either from my laptop with the hard disc connected to the Auralic Aries ie wirelessly (which was quite slow) or by connecting the hard disc directly to my laptop ie wired (which was much faster). I would have to "refresh" the Auralic Aries App so that it showed the newly imported tracks. Now (using Apple Music on my new MacBookAir running Sonoma 14.5): So I connected my hard disc to my MacBookAir, in Apple Music >> Settings >> Music Media Folder Location I chose /iansen music 2024 external ssd/Zen Trax. (At least I think I did this!) I then tried importing the new tracks. I plugged the hard disc back into Auralic Aries... and hundreds of albums have been split into two. Looking at my external hard disc I can see there are three folders: Zen Trax Automatically Add To Music Music There's about 900GB in "Zen Trax" and about 900GB in "Music". I can see that some albums have some tracks in the "Zen Trax" folder, and others in the "Music" folder, and this splitting of tracks of an album corresponds with how they show up in the Auralic App as two albums. So it's not a metadata issue, but a file location issue. (In the Apple Music App - for those albums where the tracks are split into the two different folders - its not showing as two albums...) Any suggestions on how to merge the tracks in the two folders? Link to comment
iansen Posted June 11 Author Share Posted June 11 Perhaps I need to rephrase my question. Anyone know the filing structure in Apple Music v14.5.36 in Sonoma v14.5 when attempting to consolidate files? Originally all my music was in a file called "Zen Trax" on my external hard disc. Somehow my iTunes folder got split into 3 folders: Zen Trax Automatically Add To Music Music There are albums that have some tracks in the "Zen Trax" folderwith the rest in "Music" folder. Any tips on how to get everything into one folder? Link to comment
