Q: Can I transfer a user folder from one mac to another?

My roommate has an old old iMac and has just bought an iPad Pro. Unfortunately his iMac (Early 2006) cannot support the iPad so he cannot get his music from it to the new iPad.

 

Is there a way I can use his Time Machine backup to copy his user folder from the iMac to my existing system on a much newer Mac, so he can use my Mac to sync his music until he can afford a new Mac for himself? Basically I want to create a user on my Mac for him using his user folder from his iMac.

Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3), 8 core 3.2 GHz + 22GB RAM
