I downloaded John Legend’s “Bigger Love” from Quboz. It looks normal in JRiver’s Media Center and plans fine as well. Then, I decided to transfer the entire album to my iPhone. I haven’t tried this using JRiver yet, but decided to use Catalina’s Finder. First, I imported it to Music. While it looks normal in Music, on my iPhone, for the track names, all I see is “R&B,” listed for all of the names. If I play a track, I can see the actual title. I have tried deleting it and re-synching, but get the same results. (Yes, I am up to date on iOS.) Any suggestions?

While selling drugs (naturally and chemically produced) have the stigmata of being still illegal in most western civilizations, producing & selling the booze and drinking with moderation (or not) has been accepted part of our daily life pop culture. I have scanned Music in General topics back until Dec 2017 and did not find a thread about Music & Booze. As art and addiction looks like a common duality, artists have often related their output to the theme of spirits, drinking and being spirited away. While some rock stars have used their popularity to market beverage products,

One thing I always see Music doing is updating images. Unless I purchased the track from iTunes (Music), I did internet searches to get, better high-quality images. (Yup, I’m one of those!) Is there a way to stop this within Music? Or should I find something else like Little Snitch? I am using the latest version of Music and still on 10.15.3 I am no longer using Music, it just opens when I stick in a disc to rip with another program.

For iTunes, there was a script called iTunes PowerSearch. Does one exist for the Music app? I am trying to find particular remixes, but the search on Music is very clunky — at its best! (I did check Doug's AppleScripts, but didn't find anything similar.)

Today, I had some extra time to kill. I spent some of the time syncing an iPod shuffle to Music. While Music told me the iPod software was up to date, it also allowed me to drag some music files to the iPod. (I did not use the Autofill function.) I don’t see them displayed when I look at my iPod under Devices on Music’s sidebar, but I did play them and they sounded as usual. Has anyone else experienced the same results?

I just installed Catalina. While I have moved to JRiver’s Media Center as my main player, I left songs that I don’t really listen to much at all for the Music app. For some reason, during my clean install of Catalina, when I look in the Music folder, I notice I don’t have a Music folder in there. For me, it’s just Music à Media. So, within the Media folder I have my music files and the Automatically Add to Music folder. I thought I should have a Music folder within the Media folder. For example: Music à Media à Music. Did my installation miss something?
