How to preserve B2's naming & organization when importing to Apple Music Library?
tdalotto
Does anyone know enough about Apple Music to help me preserve the naming and organization of my music files as they are on my B2 when I import into my Apple Music library?
I've organized and named all artists, albums, and songs on my B2 exactly as I like them to be. I also combined all multi-CD albums into single album folders by re-naming track prefixes from "02-01 ..." (1st track on CD #2) to "12 ..." (12th track on combined folder that follows CD #1 with 11 tracks), for example.
This organization is perfect for me. However, when I import everything from my B2 backup folder into my Apple Music library, Apple Music re-names artists, albums, and songs and re-separates combined multi-CD albums back into separate folders for each CD.
I've deleted "discid" files as much as I can.
My Apple music settings are:
Unchecked "Keep Media folder organized"
Checked "Copy files to Media folder when adding to library"
Import using: Apple Lossless Encoder
Checked "Automatically update artwork for imported songs"
"Sync Library" is checked only when I import to Apple Music library and when syncing to my iPhone, then keep it unchecked afterwards.
Does anyone know enough about Apple Music to help me preserve the naming and organization of my music files as they are on my B2 into my Apple Music library?
Also does anyone have any better suggestions for syncing my Apple Music library than what I'm currently doing (deleting Apple Music Library, then importing my entire B2 backup each time my B2 library changes)?
