Thanks for all the advice! I'll try to move the music files to another location and see if that fixes anything. FYI, they are currently on an external SSD drive.
UPDATE - Well, another data point - no matter where I move the Music folder and then point Music to the folder, I'm seeing only 5,189 tracks. Out of curiosity, I displayed the Cloud Download column in Music after this last attempt, and for every track, Music indicates the song has NOT been downloaded.
To confirm, I picked a random song and was able to select Download command, and then the file downloaded. What the actual f***. Even though the Finder indicates the files reside on my Mac SSD and external drives, they actually don't?
