Hi All

I decided to start Big Sur with a fresh install.

My iTunes and TV libraries are on an external drive.. and on my previous Catalina installation I simply pointed the library to the iTunes media folder on that drive.

Just set up a fresh install of big sur... and opened TV and iTunes holding down option key to enable me to select my library.

However, when I navigate to the external drive.. the library files just aren't there. They are invisible? I can't even see them through a finder window. Theres no way they have been deleted of course.... but do I have to do something else here?

Confused!!
 
I have my main music library on an external drive, and have had no issues with Big Sur. How is the external drive partitioned and formatted?
 
It’s a drobo.
Looks fine. Accessible. Just can’t select a library that was there yesterday.
