6100 tracks. 84 GB. But all in the cloud. I downloaded one album - 8 tracks - just to figure out which folder to share and connect with Roon. Can’t figure it out. Nothing I’ve tried has worked.
Description of Issue
Bought a new Mac mini. Setup as new computer, without using Migration Assistant. I wanted a clean start.
Downloaded and installed Roon.
File Sharing On - Shared Folder “Apple Music”
In Roon Storage - tried every combination of sharing folders, network sharing - can’t get Roon to recognize anything in Apple Music (not iTunes any longer - Music).
Thanks for the quick reply Andrew. My apologies for not being clear. Most of my library is in the cloud. I downloaded one album to be local just for this purpose of setting up the connection properly. Once established, I will download the remainder of the library.
So I have one album - files are in this directory (default for the Mac Music app):
Mac HD/Users/rustylewis/Music/Music/Media/Apple Music and can’t get Roon to see it. Inside the Apple Music folder resides a folder with the album title, and inside that folder are the actual tracks.
It looks like the one album I chose to download is made up of music videos - not music. Duh. Let me try again and see if getting the audio files downloaded fixes things.
I downloaded additional music files to my local machine overnight. They are showing up in Roon!
Another question - I have Roon watching 3 folders - is this necessary or should I delete 2 of the 3 folders? All 3 show 161 tracks imported. Am I creating duplicates by accident? I had all 3 folders listed when I was trying to get things to work.
