User level: Level 1 (4 points)Bought a new MacBook Pro M5 and am unable to download ANY music to it. Error code 7608.
App Support is supposedly “working on it” for me since early August.
I have thousands of purchased songs plus my own uploaded library (to the Cloud).
What would you suggest? Start over?
I just want my music on my laptop. Music and photography were my only reasons to buy so much memory. I’ve been perfectly happy with my iPad Pro.
Is there a work around or fix for error 7608?

Two routes that skip the library's download button. Turn on Music > Settings > General > iTunes Store, then open Purchased in the Store and download your purchases from there. And if the original files still live on your old computer or a backup drive, copy them over and use File > Import, no download involved. If you'd rather leave them on a drive, Katalog (musickatalog.com) runs alongside the Music app and plays the files from wherever they are.

Thank you!!! I’m traveling this week but can’t wait to try your suggestions.
