Hi
I just tried to migrate my music library to a new computer, a 2020macbook Air (1.1 GHz Dual core Intel Core i3) running Catalina and I got the above error message

in full:
An error occurred:
Synchronization aborted
NSAppleScriptErrorAppName = Music; NSAppleScriptErrorBriefMessage = "Not authorized to send Apple Events to Music" ; NSAppleScriptErrorMessage = "Not authorized to send Apple Events to Music"

How can I fix this?

    Hey there,

    for beaTunes to work, you have to grant it permission to remote control Music. You can do so in the System Preferences, under Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Automation.

    Hope this helps,
