I would have to experiment to truly understand what this is doing today. Also, I don't think this would resolve your initial question. My understanding of the question is that you want to create MP3 files from a standard CD and use these files in a program other than Apple Music on an IOS devic

Interesting. There’s nothing in the Media folder now, but I haven’t copied any music CDs since getting this Mac. I’ll save your message and check the next time I do. Thanks for the info. Cheers, Donna > On Jul 25, 2021, at 3:29 PM, 'Robert Cole' via MacVisionaries > wrote: > > Hi Donna, >

Hi Donna, I dont want to confuse you. If you have already copied the CD to your Mac, Then look in your user folder\Music\Media\, and you should find the MP3's ripped from the CD's. Now you can just copy them to a new folder, such as iCloud Drive. And dont use the Music app to play them beca

Hi Jonathan, Thanks for all this. It appears that CMD-C and V do not work. I did find the setting Copy Files to Music Media Folder. Are you saying I would want that unchecked? It seems like it would be the other way round. Cheers, Donna > On Jul 25, 2021, at 11:24 AM, Jonathan Cohn wrote: >

Hi, When you insert the CD, Music accesses the CDDB to try to match it. If successful then all is good. Later... Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 24, 2021, at 9:44 PM, Karen Lewellen wrote: > > Hi Tim, > as a side question, just how does the music app decide a cd is actually > music? >

I used to have a copy of HandBrake, but I only used it once, and when I migrated to the New Mac, I forgot to copy it over. I do have access to a PC, though. I wonder if I could create the files on my PC, and then move them to iCloud. Cheers, Donna Sent from my iPad > On Jul 24, 2021, at 2:16

Oh, weird. So playlists can actually be that long? I had no idea. Thanks for these suggestions, Tim. I think I’ll give the only play checked music a try. That way I can also lose some songs that got imported with albums that I could do without. Cheers, Donna Sent from my iPad > On Jul 24, 2

Hi Tim, as a side question, just how does the music app decide a cd is actually music? By which I mean, yoga cds may be a combination of spoken instruction, and music, sometimes together, but sometimes separately. So, how does the program decide? On Sat, 24 Jul 2021, 'Tim Kilburn' via Mac

Hi, You could use the Music app, uncheck the titles in your Library and tell Music to only play checked songs in Music Prefs. Or, create a playlists that excludes those titles and play the playlist instead of the library itself. Later... Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 24, 2021, at 6:37 PM,
