Admittedly I don't understand how some of this works but I am having trouble getting my iTunes library onto my new iMac.
Previously, that library resided on the hard drive of my 2014 iMac, than at some point over the past year something changed (No clue what I did to cause this) but my iTunes library somehow shifted from my hard drive to my iCloud Drive. It survived that transition more or less intact with the only casualty being album art getting screwed up. I am otherwise able to access all of my music that I burned to that library.
For my 2020 iMac, I've tried the following without success:
1) Downloading the library from iCloud, this results in some kind of error, and to be honest once the download starts Im not even sure where it goes.
2) Using the preferences menu, I've tried directing iTunes to that folder on iCloud, but I've basically ended up with a lot of orphaned songs (Meaning iTunes doesn't know where to find the files without help). This is odd, because some of those songs are on an album where the tunes are otherwise intact.
Suggestions?
