Windows iTunes: What is 'Purchased Apple' sub-folder?

What is this sub-folder? Was it created by using Account > Purchased in iTunes? Is it a log file of purchases from Apple or something else?


Having to rebuild my music file recently has created many questions. And manuals don't answer some questions.


Also, has anyone noticed artwork being corrupted on iPhone? I have actually watched it happen. Seems there is a programming opportunity here.



iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18

iTunes used to have a manual playlist called Purchased into which purchases made on that computer would be automatically added as you made them. Looking at my library now I have what appears to be a smart playlist with a custom icon that shows all of my iTunes Store purchases. The list appears to be removable, but I'm happy to keep it. It is called Purchased, but I could rename it.


Corrupt artwork on the iPhone happens. Repeat syncing often won't fix it. You can try removing the items in question then syncing back. Or removing all Music via Settings > General > iPhone Storage and then adding back. For severe issues back up the device to your computer and iCloud, restore as a new device, restore your backup, add media.
