To find out where your Apple Music files are stored on your Mac, follow these steps:
1. Open the Music app on your Mac.
2. In the sidebar on the left, click on “Songs” to view all your music.
3. Locate the file you want to find the storage location for. You can either scroll through the list or use the search bar at the top-right corner to search for a specific song.
4. Once you have found the desired file, select it by clicking on it.
Now, there are two ways to find the storage location of the selected file:
Method 1: Using the menu bar
1. With the file selected, click on the “Song” menu in the menu bar at the top of your screen.
2. From the dropdown menu, choose “Get Info” or press Command + I on your keyboard. This will open the information window for the selected file.
Method 2: Using the right-click menu
1. With the file selected, right-click on it.
2. From the contextual menu that appears, choose “Get Info.” This will also open the information window for the selected file.
Regardless of the method you choose, the information window for the file will now be open. In this window, you can find the storage location of the file:
1. In the information window, navigate to the “File” tab.
2. Look for the “Location” field at the bottom of the File pane. This field displays the path to the file, indicating where it is stored on your Mac.
The location path displayed in the “Location” field will provide you with the folder hierarchy and the exact location of the file on your Mac’s storage. You can use this information to navigate to the file manually or to access it for other purposes.
It’s worth noting that the Apple Music app primarily streams music from the cloud rather than storing it locally on your Mac. However, if you have downloaded songs or albums for offline listening, those files will be stored locally on your Mac’s storage in the designated Apple Music folder.
I hope this detailed explanation helps you find the storage location of your Apple Music files on your Mac. If you have any further questions or need assistance with anything else, feel free to ask!
