    With a music library on external hard drive: where do songs go when deleted?

    My music library (3TB) lives on a brand new G Drive external hard drive. When I delete a song in Music, I get this popup. I never receive a popup asking if I want to keep the file on my computer. In fact, the strangest thing happens: The song disappears from my external drive but is not visible...

    Music App Lossless Issue

    Has anyone noticed that the Lossless icon disappears after moving between lossless tracks or albums? I'm sure it's also reverting to lossy playback. Rebooting the Music app fixes it but it does't las long before it happens again.

    Universal Apple Music - Any way to Organize Albums?

    What's the best way to organize albums in Apple Music? For instance, can I have an album for "New Wave", or whatever, and drag individual albums to that folder -- without having it atomized into a playlist?

    iTunes/Music App cutting of songs that have been recently added

    Hi all, I am new here and hope this is the right place. So the iTunes/Music app has been working very wonky in the past and I think a lot of people have had very weird problems with it in the past. This is the last straw for me because I have tried a lot of things to figure out why this is...

    Songs appear separate despite being from the same album

    Hi everyone, Since iOS 13, and upto current iOS 14 songs on the music app appear as every song was from a separate album, I already checked metadata, (and this never happen before iOS 13), check the screenshot for more details(I have put only one album but appears one album per song)

    Serious issue with last several seconds of songs repeating. Seems to be metadata-related.

    So I first noticed this on my iPhone but I've now pinpointed it down to what seems like the metadata in the mp3's themselves. If I'm playing a song, once it gets to the end it hangs at "0:00 remaining" and then jumps back several seconds (sometimes up to 10 or 15 seconds), replays that last...
