User level: Level 1 (8 points)Where is the folder with this music held on my Macbook please? I want to add some more music to this list to sync it to my iPhone. See below:
I have put the music I want to sync in the [USER]>Music folder in various places, but it's not showing up in the sync list!
Many thanks for any help,
Annie

The list you’re seeing in Finder isn’t built from a particular folder. It comes from the library in the Music app on your Mac.
Open Music, then use File > Import (or drag the music files into the Music window). Once the songs are in your Music library, their artists/albums should appear in that Finder sync list. Simply putting files somewhere inside your Musicfolder won’t add them to the library.

If you want to see where Music is storing its files, go to Music > Settings > Files and check Media Location.
→ Change Files settings in Music on Mac - Apple Support
After importing the new songs, reconnect/select the iPhone in Finder, choose them under Music, and click Apply or Sync.
