Error trying to convert iTunes library to Music library

I bought a new Mac Mini. I copied the iTunes library from my old Mac Mini to the new one. When I try to open the library file in Music I get an error that iTunes Library.itl does not appear to be a valid library. The only odd thing about the library is that the media files are on a NAS while the iTunes library files are on the Mac Mini's hard drive.

Hi there Steve Compton,


You'll need to connect the drive that actually contains your music files to your new Mac mini in order to access the library.


You can also change where the music files are stored with the guidance here: Change where your music files are stored on Mac - Apple Support


If you need more help, you'll want to reach out to Apple Support directly for further assistance. They're best-equipped to take a closer look at the issue and provide some additional guidance. This link will help you get started: Apple Support
