Here's my situation...
I have an old iTunes library... maybe about 3 years old. I made a copy of it for a new computer and that copy became my new library.
Well, I deleted some music and added some music to the new library.
I subscribed to Apple Match (don't do it!) and it uploaded everything to iCloud.
THIS is where everything goes bad...
My disk crashed and I just happen to have a backup of my new library that was shared with Match.
BUT many songs are only on Match! There isn't a physical file!
All I see is a cloud next to song after song.
I THINK my 3 year old library has the physical (Apple Lossless) file.
How do I combine the two libraries so that I have as many physical files (WITHOUT DUPLICATES) in one library as humanly possible?
