copy music library to vision pro from mac

Has anyone figured out how to copy/migrate/import their existing music library from their Mac to a Vision Pro? Does seem like this functionality is available and we're required to subscribe to Apple Music.

I can get files into iCloud and via the files app access the music, but it's a one off there's no library functionality to import it into the music app (unless I'm just missing something which is always possible lol)

Thanks

Apple Vision Pro, visionOS 1

"Play music shared on a nearby computer

If a computer on your network shares music through Home Sharing, you can stream its music to your Apple Vision Pro.

Go to Settings > Apps > Music, tap Sign In below Home Sharing, then sign in with your Apple ID.
Open the Music app , tap Edit in the sidebar, select Home Sharing, then tap Done.
Tap Home Sharing, then choose a shared library."

"View albums, playlists, and more in Music on Apple Vision Pro

In the Music app , the library includes music you added or downloaded from Apple Music, music videos you added from Apple Music, and your iTunes Store purchases."

Above is from the complete article: View albums, playlists, and more in Music on Apple Vision Pro - Apple Support

So just an update in case others are looking for information on this. Home sharing is setup on my Mac (has been for some time), I did the setup in settings on Vision Pro, but it would not show up in the music app without a full restart of the VP (no idea why). Once I did that I could see the playlists.

Feedback submitted to Apple on this as well.

Thanks for the reply. I know that will work, but what if I'm not home? I know I have it all on my iPhone and iPad. This just seems like a bit of an oversight on Apple's part in not allowing this (especially since it's functionality they would have removed as opposed to adding or modifying).

Will you have your iPhone with you ?

iCloud is also accessible on the internet.

Apple music radio is freely available.

Mac Music libraries are often quite large ...

Music files take up memory / storage space ... no problem if you have plenty.

However, according to the Tech Specs:

Vision Pro comes with either 256GB, 512GB, or 1T
