What is the file hierarchy of Music.app?

In my home folder (~) I have a Music folder that contains:

    • "Music library" — a music library bundle
    • A folder named "Media":
      • "Apple Music" folder
      • "Music" folder
      • "Automatically Add to Music" folder


Now, why doe I have a "Apple Music" and "Music" folder inside the Media folder? Is this normal?

See Managing your Mac media libraries - Apple Community. The typical location of the library package is ~/Music/Music/Music Library.musiclibrary. The media folder is typically ~/Music/Music/Media and may contain another Music subfolder if upgraded from iTunes. The Apple Music folder indicates you have an Apple Music subscription, its content goes in there. You can persuade the artist folders to go up one layer if you wish so they are in /Media/ rather than /Media/Music/. Details in the linked user tip.
