Music folders/playlists edits do not update

Open Music with Option held down and explicitly choose the library that you want it to open. In some cases it seems Music can open a cached version of the library that it doesn't necessarily update correctly.

Close Music, then reopen with Option+Cmd held down. This opens the app in its safe mode and may perform some internal housekeeping.

Right-click on your Music Library.musiclibrary package while Music is closed and select the Show Package Contents option. Show hidden files with Shift+Cmd+. If you see any .tmp files inside delete them.

Using Sonoma and having similar issues, including creating new playlists that I can add songs to but don't show up in sidebar, though they seem to exist somewhere (if I use "show in playlist" feature).

Re-chose the library, seems to have helped somewhat. As for the tmp file fix, what is the full path where I would find the correct package?

Also, will installing Sequoia help (or hurt)? And can I get the "Import CD and Eject" option back somehow? Thanks!

The normal path to the Music library is ~/Music/Music/Music Library.musiclibrary. Right or ctrl click to get a context menu, one option of which should be Show Package Contents. This reveals the files inside the package, it is basically a folder that pretends to be a single file.

I'm using Sequoia on my newer machines. No obvious issues for me, although I haven't actually tested CD import functions.
