Hello,
Having trouble moving my music library from my iMac running Catalina 10.15.4 to an external USB drive, and getting my Touch to play. To be safe I copied the entire Music folder from my User folder, even things I knew LMS wouldn't need. Apple Music app recognizes the library without a hitch. I cannot seem to get LMS to accept the new location, scan the folder, and play to my Squeezebox Touch. I have deleted the previous library location in the LMS Preference Pane, selected the new location, and nothing. It saves, but will not play from the new library location. I've run the cleanup sequence, and cannot get things to work. As soon as I select the previous library location (standard Home Folder location) all is right again - the folder is scanned and everything works.
Update - reinstalled LMS. Selected new library location and LMS rescanned successfully, and apparently played from the new library location. Moved all music files from the original location (Home Folder default iTunes location) to the trash, and LMS again will not recognize external drive library. Placed all music files back into original, default location, LMS rescans and plays without a hitch. LMS will not scan my external USB drive for my music library, even though it shows selected in the Library tab in the preference pane. I hope this rambling makes sense.
