This is a continuation of my never ending desire to have my fairly extensive album collection arranged how I want it on my iPhone.
My current iPhone is only a 256 GB model, so today I looked at removing some unused apps. I didn't look closely at GarageBand, just got rid of it, but Numbers also had more than 10 gigabytes of data so I checked out that data and it is all m4a music files?
After blindly getting rid of the GarageBand app and its gigabytes of documents & data, my top 5 storage entries are; Synced Media - 56.83 GB, RedTiger - 18.95 GB, Photos - 17.01 GB, Numbers - 10.27 GB, Music - 7.92 GB.
Clicking on Synced Media, the first page just shows the Music icon, at 56.82 GB. RedTiger contains 18.91 GB documents & data (DashCam video), Photos contains 17.01 GB of photos and videos, Numbers contains 9.71 GB of music file, and Music shows 7.88 GB of documents and data, but below it shows All Songs at 64.41 Gb and Artists at 64.96 GB.
I have all these files backed up to external storage, and am preparing to remove the vast majority of photos and videos, plus all the music files, so I can import my now larger music collection. The last time that I imported the music collection, I had deleted the Music app, disconnected from the internet and tried to just import the Music folder from the external drive, but I ended up with the Music app as well.
Just looking at my collection through the Music app, things were "close" to what I desired, so I accepted that as a minor victory.
Well anyway, I'm just curious to know if anyone out there can enlighten me on why the music files aren't in one location? (and I pretty much assume some of my music files were in GarageBand)
