Accessing iTunes External library after upgrading to Big Sur

After upgrading to Big Sur from Mojave I find I cannot access my External iTunes Library as the Choose button is greyed out. I took my iMac into work to do the upgrade due to low bandwidth here and I did not have my external SSD connected during the upgrade.

All help gratefully received

Ah. It looks like your library was created with iTunes 8 or earlier. Rename the file iTunes Library to iTunes Library.itl, then you will be able to select it using this dialog.
