Music (still!) hangs on 'Saving Music Library'

Update: I contacted Apple Support directly and they had only been made aware of this issue since earlier this year. We went through a series of diagnostic tests and gathered data for investigation.

Long story short, there is no solution. But they acknowledge the issue. It is likely just related to having a large library.

Hi tt2.

Thanks for the response. I have heard others mention the multiple .tmp files in the package. I have never seen them. Just checked again.

I don't use any security software. I was even able to replicate this by booting into Safe Mode and logging into a brand new account with everything native.

I've recreated my library from scratch many times and on many different Macs.

It seems to be worse when I add files and then change or clear out some tags. eg. I can replicate 100% of the time by adding 1000 tracks, selecting them, and then clearing the comment tag.

Just checking back in to say this issue has now been 100% resolved in the latest version.

Saving has never been faster or more reliable. It has been an issue plaguing the app for many years.

Huge thanks to the team!
