Can you open your downloads in finder. You should find them there. Either that or if you open Apple Music which is the music app on the Mac, as long as you still have the same email address you should be able to sink anything you have in the old Apple Music library. If you don’t have it in your music library and I can’t see why you shouldn’t you will need to import so you need to copy it to the hard drive from what ever external drive you have it on and when it is in your downloads go to music open it, open the menu with vo and m and go to file, down to import, click on it with vo space and it then brings up the side bar and if you go to the downloads and then click I think and then you get the import prompt and you have to click on open. When I say click I always mean using voice and space. Hope that helps love emma
