Hello,
I no longer have a Big Sur system to play with, but one of the settings that
has always been around in iTunes/Music is:
checked Copy files to Music Media folder when adding to library
this setting shows up in "files" area of Music preferences for me.
This is described as:
Copy an item to the Music Media folder when you drag the item to the Music
window. If you want items to appear in Music but also remain in their original
location, deselect this checkbox. For example, you can keep music imported from
CDs on your computer and save your music video files on an external storage
device. Pressing the Option key while dragging temporarily reverses the current
checkbox setting.
This might effect the delete function you were looking for too. I have no idea
if they command-option-v function used to move instead of copy for files will
work in this situation, and some how in my last couple of upgrades, I seem to
have lost all the music that was on my computer so I can't do any testing for
you.
Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn
