I have had something similar. I was trying to import/convert a bunch of flaac files (which apple cant read and requires they be converted to apple lossless.) But i tend to be cloud adverse. So my library is on a NAS. When my mac mini blew it up, i had to restore my entire music library. Then every single file could not be found..So I deleted the entire itunes library (which deleted the music folder structure, i thought i told it not too, but it could have been my fault). So i restored the directory structure again, and then had to re-import and rebuild the library. All playlists were gone. Play counts, favorites, checked songs (because itunes loves to convert things and make duplicates) were gone and needing to be redone. And now it seems it wont recognize flaac files anyhow. I have been meaning to setup something like Navidrome and be done with it but i dont really like the thought of another self hosted server. https://www.navidrome.org/ https://www.navidrome.org/
