When I add these select files into Music Media, and Refresh Playlist in iMovie Audio screen, I can see these songs and use in iMovie.similarly to how songs were visible within iMovie when iTunes Library was available for selection (as opposed to only Music app). Is this the way to go vs somehow forcing Music to re-sync itself with existing iTunes library? If I do this copying, it appears that I'm effectively replicating my iTunes library (125GB) within the Music Media folder, as opposed to Music reading/syncing itself to iTunes library (which I suppose it is meant to do). I have tried copying (using Finder) select files from iTunes library into Music Media folder and Music app then reflects these new entries. Songs from iTunes library that are found in Music will play. Does Music have to refresh itself to pull in the entire library? How do I make that happen?Īlready authorized. Why would I have to 'download' a song if it already physically resides on my hard drive? Furthermore, Music does not show all the purchased songs in my iTunes Library - Music says I have 1958 songs while Finder says I have over 10,000. Is this new under Ventura? it totally negates the search function within iMovie.

The only way I can get any purchased iTunes song to display in iMovie now is to click the Download arrow on the song in Music (and where does it download to?) and then select Refresh Playlist on Music dropdown in iMovie which gives me just the song I downloaded in Music, not the whole catalog of purchased music in my iTunes library on my harddrive. These purchased songs used to display in iMovie under High Sierra, and I could search for songs in my iTunes Library within iMovie. Now iMovie does not display any of my iTunes library of purchased songs (purchased through iTunes or via copied CDs, not in Music), even though these songs are noted in Kind descriptor as 'Purchased AAC Audio File' and physically reside on my hard drive in iTunes Library.

My Macbook Pro (High Sierra) died and I restored backup to a different Macbook Pro (Ventura).
