Storing Using my personal music CD collection on my MAC and iPad.
I need some coaching on the use of the Music App on my MACBOOK Pro M2 w Sequoia 15.6.1. I have thousands of dollars in music CDs in my music collection that I've built over 3+ decades. Long ago I saved this collection onto my original MACBOOK Air with some anomalies I've just lived with; eg. albums being broken up into 2 or more bundles under the artists name, no album art etc. I have just lived with this and used my collection on my MAC, iPad(s), iPods etc. Over time, a couple decades at least, this has become problematic where now, the Music app will not allow me to play a number of songs from my collection, all of which I purchased legitimately in the CD collection, because "...[a selection] is not available in my region...? I have been using PCs and MACs since they were introduced in business and otherwise and the reduction in my control over music I own, imposed by successive versions of Apple's Music/ iTunes, has become extremely frustrating. I have bought some music on line through Apple's iTunes but I need to do this rarely... my collection is what I enjoy! Am I forced to re-load all my music CDs on my current MACBOOK Pro and iPad[s] and use a different music app? Some insight that might allow me to work this problem is deeply appreciated.
