    Upgrading from Mojave to Monterey - how to handle Music?

    I have a Mac Studio with Monterey that is taking the place of a 2018 Mac Mini on Mojave.

    Mac Studio multi display management: Rinse and repeat 10+ times a day

    It shouldn’t be this hard. In fact, it should be “super easy; barely an inconvenience!” as the Quebecois says on YouTube.
