When I try to run Organize Library in Apple Music on my Mac laptop I get an error message that says "Copying files failed. An unknown error occurred. -54". What does this error code mean?
OS: Sequoia 15.5
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.5
Here are references I have for -54

This can happen if a file on your computer or iOS device is locked.
April 2024. Error -54 in the context of the Music app on a computer:
While trying to import a CD, I receive "A… - Apple Community
“Not sure this will do the trick but go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Files and Folders > Music and make sure “Removable Volumes” is on.”

On the advice of another reply I went into System Settings > Privacy & Security and granted the Music app full disc access. This got rid of the -54 error, but now the command runs for a second and finishes with no response. Is it supposed to display a message when it finishes organizing the library, or does it simply finish with no message? If the latter, maybe my library is already correctly organized and there was nothing for the command to do. If the command is supposed to display a message upon completion, how do I determine what the problem is?
No message on completion as far as I am aware. See Managing your Mac media libraries - Apple Community for some background, in particular the section on iTunes Media Organization.
