How can I find my downloaded songs on iTunes?
Years ago I had downloaded thousands of songs to iTunes but now it appears I no longer have access to them. How can I access these songs?

From:
Move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Community
The default location for a Music library in Catalina and later is ~/Music/Music with the media files consolidated into ~/Music/Music/Media. After importing your iTunes library you may want to copy your active Music Library.musiclibrary file into ~/Music/Music replacing any older copy there, then use Music > Preferences > Files to reset the media folder path, and File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate Files to bring all the music into media folder. You can then remove the originals from the old iTunes Media folder. Repeat with TV as appropriate. Alternatively you could create the nested layout of library folder and media folder on an external drive.
See Managing your Mac media libraries - Apple Community for more on reorganizing old iTunes content for the new apps.
