HD is showing more GB used than available

The HD on my M1 MBA is showing 534gb full of 494gb available. The "System Data" row never stops calculating.

I have tried rebuilding the spotlight index and I ran first aid in DU with no errors. It says there are 5 volumes sharing the 494gb, which seems odd to me, but I don't know that much.

This is all coming from investigating why the Music app is using a whopping 168gb in some unreachable folder, on top of it's normal folder in Documents>music (72gb).

Any ideas?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.0
