> know that everything lives in one place.

That was what bothered me about iTunes...I was never sure WHERE things lived. Even if I pointed it at a folder, was that my music, or just an input source for where my music actually ended up living?

If you have "Organize my music" checked then iTunes copies the files to its library. If you have it unchecked, then the files stay where you left them.

If you right-click any local song¹ there's an option in the context menu to show the song in the Finder.

¹Music available in iCloud Music Library but not explicitly downloaded locally doesn't offer this of course.
