I cannot believe there isn't more discussion and revolt over Apple fading out iTunes rather than just improving it's viability and user friendliness. The subsequent apps "Apple Music" and "Apple Devices" are pieces of garbage and should never have been put out there for usage until they were refined more. The only way to copy your music library is through the "Apple Devices" app, and it fails to do it's job 99% of the time. I have finally given up and uninstalled all Apple apps completely, then installed an older version of iTunes to control and manage my music library. In the mean time, I am looking for another brand of software that can manage my music library with ease between my PC and my iPhones, iPads etc.

Help! I compose my own music on a music notation software where I can make a file into an MP3 or MP4. On iTunes I could save my own music there in an album, store it in dropbox for other to listen to.
Now I have a new Macbook Pro using Sonoma 14.5 it comes with Music and all my own comps are missing from the transfer that was done from my old mac, althuogh anything I purchased is there.
I returned a Apple iphone and got an android phone (a Motorola) because I can store my compositions and listen to them on my phone. It's beyond necessary to listen to my compositions.
So, any suggestions about how to handle to the Apple Music thing? I was initially really shocked by the fact that Apple used to support those of us who are now called, "Creatives." --- shocked no more, but still left with figuring out what to do.

Would be best for you to post your question as it's own thread, you are going to get way more people seeing it as a separate post rather then a reply to this one.
