I've been seeing if any other music playing application could be just that, a music playing application with all my content sealed off from Apple Music. I've been there too CD's imported(which takes forever as we know), artwork scanned from CD cover and then let iTunes Match at the time smack me hard with new artwork.Įven now, with my imported CD's I have lost the original artwork when using Apple Music. I'm not entirely advocating you move away from iTunes and I understand the frustration with Apple Music and iTunes Match. I'd take a look first with Museeks if your iTunes playlists(if they matter more than the MP3 tag data) can be imported fully. If you have your music ripped and could use a different musicplayer then I would give Museeks a try - if only to listen to your musik without it doing things to your Music Library. You'll then of course have to run iTunes via Rosetta2 and I'm not sure how good that is in general as I've only experiences Rosetta1 during the PPC->Intel days(which wasn't bad) Is it possible for you to continue using iTunes with the Retroactive application that I read is soon to working fully under Rosetta2 on an M1 Mac? I forget that this a new architecture completely. I wouldn't be satisfied with my comment if I was asking your question - having someone recommending alternative music players which all would have to be emulated. I want to move to the new system and be done with iTunes struck me some minutes after writing this comment that "why would anyone want to emulate a music application via Rosetta2 on a M1 Mac?" But my music library is fractured, split into iTunes and Music stuff. So I'm starting from scratch and manually copying over my music and photos. Note that I tried Migration Assistant, and it failed miserably, several times (also worked with Apple Support on this for hours, and failed). I need to transfer this stuff to the new Mac. I can't find a way to do this, and I've even called Apple Support. I also have dozens of playlists that I need to faithfully transfer. I've spent years getting the titles, artists, years and album art the way I want it. I tried and it royally screwed up my library. I do NOT (and WILL NOT) use Apple Music or iTunes Match. I'd like to simplify everything and get it all into one library, the Music library.ĩ9% of my music is ripped content - MP3s mostly. I'm guessing the iTunes stuff is all legacy stuff that's been carried forward through various system upgrades and migrations. I have an older Mac mini (2018) that has both an iTunes folder (where most of my media actually resides) and a Music folder (where a small amount of media resides).
