Your library

Everything you add becomes part of your collection: ripped CDs, files you’ve dropped in, and the details that go with them. Your plays, favorites, and playlists live here too, so the library is a picture of your whole listening, not just a list of files.

The actual audio stays on your Mac. What travels between devices is your library data, so your collection reads the same on every screen without copying gigabytes around.

Browse by Albums or Artists to see everything you own, jump to Favorites for the songs you’ve starred, or open Recently played to pick up where you left off. Anything you save into a Playlist shows up in the sidebar, ready on any device.

Use the menu on an album to keep things neat. Hide tucks an album out of view while leaving the files exactly where they are, and you can unhide it any time. Delete goes further and removes the album, moving its files to your Mac’s Trash so nothing vanishes for good without your say.

Either way, your favorites, plays, and playlists are kept. Tidying the shelf doesn’t erase your history.

Your Mac is home base, where your music actually lives. When you add, hide, favorite, or build a playlist, that change is saved to your library and follows you to your other devices the next time they check in. You make changes in one place and they show up everywhere.
