How to transfer album in documents to Music

I accidentally downloaded a zip folder of music into a desktop document folder. on my MacBook. How do I transfer album to Music? Some songs transferred to music as an album, which is great. Other songs were transferred individually (not in their album); other songs don't appear in Music. Thanks so much!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.4

How Rescan Apple Music Library On Windows 11 I just installed Apple Music on Windows 11, and I went to import my songs from my NAS backup, but because they are in folders, it won't let me import them all at once. When I select all folders, the selection just jumps into the last folder, and I can only import files, but not my entire folder structure. That will take HOURS. So I instead copied all the files from my NAS to the configured local lobrary... but the songs still don't show up in the app. How can I force the app to rescan it's library to pick up the songs? Baring that, how do I import multiple folders at once?

Apple Music Files Download on Macbook M1 (multiple questions) Hi, Overall Goal - I want to download my purchased music from Apple Music (Monterey) and convert those to mp3, so I can replay those using Rekordbox - I use a music-key/BPM software to tag each music file. Issue - in Apple Music's preferences, I changed the media folder location to a new named folder. That all went wel, until I accidentally deleted a folder with five music files in there and emptied my trash can on top of that. Q1: not sure if these music files are still on my Mac, but when going back to iTunes on Apple Music it cannot locate these files. What would be best? Can I somehow retrieve/redownload these via iTunes again - I don't see an option for that? Q2: How can I convert Apple's music files using Apple Music - do I convert that within Apple Music app - sorry, little confused reading online instructions?

Glynn,

Once the file is unzipped and the individual audio files are present on your hard drive, you can simply add them to your Music library: Import music from a computer to Music on Mac - Apple Support

Whether they end up in neat albums or not depends on how they are tagged at the source. If there are any stray files, you can fix their tags after they are in Music.
