Can't recover my iTunes playlists on new macbook M1 Ventura.

I recently bought my first macbook (OS Ventura). My main wish is to recover the iTunes library from my old iMac (Mac OS X Snow Leopard). I was able to move the entire iTunes folder to the Apple Music via a hard drive and recovered all my music files, but now I can't seem to figure out how my playlists can be recovered as well.

As I understood from another feed, I tried copying the 'iTunes Library.itl' file to Music/Music/ (or to Music/Music/Media, and also Music/Music/Media/Music which also contained a copied version of all my imported music).
If I open 'iTunes Library.itl', Apple Music pops up, but then nothing happens (There was process ongoing to sync audio, but I'm not sure it was already ongoing, or if this started because I opened the .itl file

Any advise?

With friendly regard,

Simon
