convert iTunes to Music app not working as expected

When I click the iTunes Library.itl file to launch Music only ten of my hundreds of albums show up in Music.
I have confirmed all the music is present.
When I launch Music holding Option iTunes Library.itl does not appear

I have copied my whole music library to my new M2 MacBook Pro running Ventura.

When I launch Music holding the Option key the iTunes.itl file does not show up. In fact none of the files in that folder show up.

Here is what I can see in the finder:

I have even tried clicking on the old iTunes Library.itl file and when Music launches only ten of my many hundreds of albums appears in Music app.

You have to hold down option while launching Music, then click Choose Library, select the .itl file, then choose a location to save the converted library. Clicking an .itl or .musiclibrary file opens Music, but not the selected library file.
