[QUOTE="1611mac, post: 1791354, member: 127288"] I really appreciate the reply. Thank you. I had actually found and read that article. It was very informative. I have learned that only my personal music files themselves upload to iCloud library only if there is no match to songs in Apple Music. If there is a match, then my files on disk don't play, the matching song from Apple Music plays. It also appears that the iTunes db (.itl file in iTunes folder) says on each device and is NOT uploaded iCloud Music. The db's are supposed to sync. I can see this when a song ends on one Mac and the .itl files timestamp updates on BOTH my iMac and MBP. Likewise, add a smart playlist on one and the timestamp updates on the other as well as the smart playlist itself appears. Sadly, from searching the web, I see that for a great many users Plays and Last Played don't always update. I have that problem myself. I can get Plays and Last Played to work by signing out of iCloud Music on all devices and restarting apps and then logging in again. It randomly works but then quits updating again at some point. Thanks again for the reply. [/QUOTE]
