Sorry I don't understand. I want to download all the songs into an external hard drive called iomega. The only place I am able to access iomega is in my file folder where it is listed along with all my computer files. I was trying to pin it to the taskbar, but I am unable to do so. I was doing this in an attempt, as you suggested, to drag the music files to it. So, my problem with your suggestion is that 1) I am being successful, dragging the "songs" from the Apple library, even though there is a red circle with a red line through it attached to it as I am dragging it to my non-existent destination-iomega, so that does not work or 2) I can hold down the shift key as I am clicking open Apple Music but nothing happens except for giving my 3 choices: Apple Music, Unpin from taskbar and close window.
