Consolidate Library on Mac Music app fails without any feedback.

Just signed up for Apple One, and attempting to sync my music from my MacBook Pro.

Step to Consolidate Files starts, then goes away, no indication of why.


How do I get this started correctly?


Music > File > Library > Organize Library...

select Consolidate files

Copying Files popup - stays up for 2 seconds, then disappears.

Consolidation scans each item in the library. If the item exists outside of the designated media folder a new copy is made inside and the library is linked to the new copy. Otherwise nothing changes. If the library is already consolidated the scan can be very quick. There is no feedback at the end of the process unless there is an error.
