i was reluctant to "upgrade" to Catalina, but i needed to upgrade Chrome,
Safari, and others, so i was forced to do it
results from transferring iTunes to Music: complete disaster
i won't go into the sad and chaotic details, they have been told by many other victims,
as shown by searching this forum and others (Apple Support, etc.)
just one question in case someone more clever than me was successful:
how the heck could i recover my "musical genres" distribution of my materials
(about 23000 items), if possible?
i was enjoying about 20 genres (symphonies, concerts, opera, lieder, masses,
requiem, chamber, guitar, piano, organ, jazz, blues, pop, rock, etc.), but now they won't work
in a word: any trick to overcome the catastrophe?
TIA
Follow Ups:
finally i discovered a way to recover all my former genres!
yep, you need to use a trait named "filter field", in the "view" menu,
it works either for albums or for "songs" (tracks); so write, for instance,
"concertos" and instantly you get all albums or tracks that you previously classified as such!
once there, you can even shuffle those tracks, in order to listen to them
in that way, which from time to time i like to enjoy (for jazz, blues or pop)
the rest of problems remain so far, but they seem to me to be minor, except
perhaps the fact that now Music put totally crazy covers
all in all not so bad!
I probably can't help. But I did successfully import/transfer my pc's "iTunes" music folder to my new mac mini's "Music" folder a few years ago.
That went without a hitch.
And I've since bought a new mac mini M2 running the latest macOS. That went smoothly.
I had a minor catastrophe many years ago when I mistakenly checked iTunes "Match," and all of my lossless files were converted to lossy. But fortunately I had a backup.
please see my general reply...
My response won't solve your present issue.
I was an iTunes user but gave up on it about 10 years ago. There are much better music management / players for Mac out there including Roon which is my current favorite and Audirvana which is also excellent.
thanks! i've been using Audirvana for the last 10 years or so, but only as a digital player; i'm more inclined to manage my music on my own computer, rather than resorting to other means
"i've been using Audirvana for the last 10 years or so, but only as a digital player; i'm more inclined to manage my music on my own computer, rather than resorting to other means"
I'm not sure what you mean but if you have a library of music in a Folder on your computer, Audirvana will manage it and play it.
Good luck.
yep, i know that indeed... as i said i much prefer using Audirvana just as a digital player,
without transferring my music to it, and so losing a part of my control over it, i just don't trust...
Audirvana only reads the files on your computer. Initially, it inventories them, collects metadata pertaining to the albums/songs and stores the metadata in a SQlite (if I remember correctly) database.
What you see on the screen is the metadata retrieved from the database. When you select a song it retrieves its location from the database and plays the song.
yep, i agree, thanks! yet, i tried Audirvana Origin for a short while and did not notice any improvement in SQ, which would be my main reason to buy it; to face another reorganization, and pay for it, makes me feel very lazy, so for now i'll remain in Music and Audirvana 3.5 and try to manage them under the new conditions
