Voice memos back into Music app?

[Loa]

Hello,

I recently got a new mac and went from MacOS 10.13 to MacOS 12. In the process, my Voice Memos moved out of iTunes to their own dedicated app.

Now. I still have my old Voice Memos playlist in Music (with the old voice memos previously recorded), but all the new voice memos I record end un in the Voice Memos app.

Can I bring the voice memos back into the Music app like it was back when it was iTunes?

Thanks.

You can always try importing your new voice memo files into Music to store them there.

Yes, but they've even added the hassle that I can't copy them directly from voice memos to Music. I have to copy them to Finder, then copy them to Music.

And the cherry on top? I can't select more than one at a time!

Yay! Thanks Apple!

It's none of my business, but why do you need them all strung together in a playlist in the Music app? Do you like to listen to yourself a lot?? 😃

Haha! I don't like to listen to myself. But I'm a teacher and voice memos is an app I've been using for years now to make notes. I then uploaded them to iTunes and placed them in a series of playlists for when I'd have time to go through them. And so I have a long list of playlists of different subjects for my classes.

In any case. I'll probably learn to work with the new much-less-useful app eventually. Just don't see the point of having a distinct app given that the voice memo files are just audio files that iTunes/Music already handled.

Ah. That makes sense. It's always interesting to learn how different people use their computers and applications. Thanks for sharing!
