Can't import iTunes music libraries to a new Music app on a new laptop
Hi
First, some background.
I have used a Macbook Pro for DJing and then for organizing my music libraries for many years.
Currently, I use iTunes on a late 2016 Macbook Pro running Mojave, with 4 different iTunes libraries, one of these was dedicated for DJing, and this library is stored on an external HD.
This library is also synced to other DJ softwares, like Traktor and Rekordbox, who are both capable of reading the iTunes library directly.
I am mentioning this, because I need to keep all my music files at their current respective paths, as to not create a situation where the DJing software loses the locations of the files.
Right.
So I have purchased a new Macbook Pro 16" running Monterey.
I was advised not to restore the old Macbook into the new machine, and rather do a clean install.
I am now in the middle of this tedious process, but can't seem to be getting the new Apple Music app to read the old iTunes libraries.
I've followed this thread as carefully as I can, as it describes the same issue, but the various solutions can't seem to cover my specific case.

Would love to be able to resolve this very annoying issue, if someone might be able to help please.
