However, on occasion I'd like to be able to play music on my MacBook without having to have the hard drive attached. I have connected this to my MacBook and mapped iTunes to it and all is fine when the External Hard drive is connected. I have therefore transferred all of my iTunes folder (which includes my Library, Media Folder etc) from my old Windows laptop on to an external hard drive. I have recently got a MacBook Air but the storage on it is only 128GB. Play Apple Music without library on external hard drive connected Is there a way to play my music (I am subscribed to Apple Music and iTunes Match) if my library and music, which I keep on an external hard drive, are not connected? Really like to resolve this before I rip any newly purchased CDs into my library. But I already have it!Ī test download of 1 song put it in the correct place on my external drive, but it made a duplicate copy with a 1 appended to the song name.Īm I supposed to download an entire new copy of the library and throw out my existing one? All 26K songs, 165GB? Is there not some way to tell it to locate these files locally? It says all of my music is available to be downloaded. I have the Music Media folder location set to my external drive.

Music app was fully populated with cloud references to my music. The migration to Music on the new iMac with Big Sur went more or less smoothly, until I realized that it was not 'recognizing' the music on my external hard drive that I physically reattached to the new iMac. All my music is on an external hard drive, organized by iTunes on that computer.
