🧹🧹🧹Music App Artist folders are scattered📂📂📂

Be gentle, not been a heavy Mac user last few years, so little late to party(!)


After migration of iTunes to Music App, the file hierarchy is a mess....


Currently running OS 13.0😬 and Music 1.3.0.138🙄


Per the tutorial of media management from @turingtest2, the file structure should look like this:


user\Music\Music\Media\Artists\Albums\


but currently as bad as this (attached)


user\Music\Music\Music\Media\Music...…


Where unique artist folders (same artist, different song/albums) are at the highest and lowest subfolder (MUSIC #1 and MUSIC#4)




The "organize" option is currently off/de-selected for some reason not recalled.


Is the solution as simple as to "import" the lowest hierarchy artist folders again per the thread here?


Just double checking the safest steps to clean this up and retain the metadata⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


It is upsetting my OCD


TIA!!!....TT2/anyone?
