Apple Music does not create the "Automatically Add to Music: folder
##Problem Description:
The initial symptom was that music files added to the "Automatically Add to Music"(AATM) folder were not imported to the original library. The current symptom is that the folder was/is not created when I created a new Music Library.
## Environment
- OS: macOS 15.2
- Device: M1 Macbook Pro
- App Version: Apple Music 1.5.2.56
- Region: USA
What I've tried so far. Read carefully. Reading comprehension is required.
## Original library Path '~/Music/Music'
- Automatically add to music folder didn’t work.
- I tried deleting AATM folder and restarting AM. No change.
- I tried deleting the AATM folder and recreating it from the command line. No change.
- I exported the original library to a playlist file Library.xml
- I created a new music library to see if I can get that to work.
## New Library Path '~/Music/Music 1'
- I noted that there wasn’t an AATM folder created by default in the new library.
- Imported library.xml into the new library
- Error message post import - Some of the songs in Library XML were not imported because they could not be found
- 30 folders under Music were not imported
- Closed and Opened AM - still no AATM folder
- Closed and open AM in safe mode with CMD+Option Keys
- Closed AM, Backed up and deleted com.apple.Music.plist file. Opened AM - still no AATM folder
- Rebooted MBP and opened AM - still no AATM folder
- Performed Music folder security settings procedure for original and new libraries(https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-13743) - no change
