Pointing Library to Music for new Mac Questions
Background: I upgraded to a new Mac and decided to start 100% fresh since it's been many years since my last new computer. I'm now at the point I need to set up Music app and want to make sure I'm linking it to my external drive correctly. My music is already organized in a Music folder.
Questions:
1) To correctly relink my music library to Music do I only need to go to Music -> Preferences -> Files and then change the folder location to my Music folder on my external drive? Should "Keep Music Media folder organized be checked? I assume "Copy files to Music Media folder when adding to library" should be checked for when I add new music later. Correct? Do I need any Music/iTunes files from my old Mac or will everything link up and show my original import dates, etc?
2) To re-establish my playlists I can just import the .XML files from my previous Mac?
3) I also use my Mac to sync my iPhone and iPad. The Mobile Applications folder w/ old iApps is in my Music folder. Since Music no longer manages iPhone app syncing and backup I assume I can delete this folder. No file is newer than 2017.
Thanks!
