Moving Music To New iMac
Hi,
I just want to check before I potentially mess anything up...
My music, from CD's/ iTune's was integrated into my Apple Music subscription some while ago on my MacBook Pro. (El Capitan).
It was set up so all my music and anything downloaded from Apple Music was stored on a separate hard drive. (The external hard drive had to be connected for the Music app to open).
Now I have added an iMac, (Catalina), to my collection and need to move my music to it.
When I open the Music app on the iMac everything is in place, so - am I assuming this is just what the Music app 'see's' from my iCloud, (nothing is downloaded), which would be what I see on my iPad/iPhone?
I want to use the external hard drive as before so do I just need to point the iMac to my ext drive using 'Preferences > Files > my ext dv'?
Will that then resort my iMac to the set-up I was using with my MacBook Pro?
Sorry if this is basic.
I really want to be sure I know what I am doing to avoid losing anything or ending up with a load of duplicates!
Many Thanks...
Nigel
