SWINSIAN DATE ADDED UPGRADE

But Swinsian is a good app to keep around. However, since I use iTunes Match (or whatever it is called) to sync my music to my phone, I really am tied to Apple Music for now. It’s not a bad app, and might serve some people very well. In the meantime, I exported my library as an XML file, bought a copy of Swinsian, and had it import the XML library every startup.

Maybe it’s just a few songs or albums that were fucked up, and if I could fix them, I’d fix my issues? The temporary ‘fix’ In fact, there were only 21 unique UUIDs across over 100,000 messages in 10 minutes. I then fired up Console.app and noticed that there were repeated messages, 1000’s and 1000’s of them, all with the form of AMPArtworkAgentğailed to find the SourceInfo for UUID:931AD28D-7A8F-403E-A7B7-D860F6E53365 error:Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=9068 '(null)'ĪMPArtworkAgent RequireAction failure: ('IsLockValid(lock)') “OK,” I say to myself, “I’ve got a number of albums with no art, let it sort itself out like people online say to.” Well, it never did. I learned snooping around online that AMPArtworkAgent is the Apple Music (Player?) Artwork process that matches album art. Looking in Activity Monitor, Music was using quite a bit of CPU even while not playing, but so was AMPArtworkAgent. No big deal, probably just sorting out some iCloud crap. I started playing music with Music, and noticed my CPU usage was a bit high. Their installers took care of everything. I didn’t bother to do anything specific with very ‘controlling’ apps like Adobe.I use a lot of command line utilities, including mutt for mail, installed.I also use iTunes Match (but not the Apple Music streaming service).My iTunes library was ‘ Tunespanned’ to an external hard drive.

SWINSIAN DATE ADDED UPGRADE

I finally got a new mac and was forced to upgrade.įirst things first, the upgrade went smooth using Migration Assistant, even though: I delayed upgrading my old mac to Catalina because of the iTunes -> Music transition, and was worried I’d have some problems. I’ve never really had any issues with iTunes, and while I’ve had to do a few workarounds over the years to get my music to where it needed to go, I’ve been perfectly happy with iTunes. Right now, I’m at about 1,300 albums and 17,000 songs. Not the massive collection that some people have, but reasonably well organized and tagged music going way back to the initial versions of iTunes 1. I have a lot of music that I’ve ripped myself.
