[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1839826, member: 131855"] No need to export from the old machine. We can ue your Time Machine backup:phew:app:smarty. The following procedure should work: 1. If the Music app ia open, close it. This might not be necessary but it's a good idea. 2. Locate your Music folder. This is the one inside your user folder [B]not [/B]the external drive that has your actual music files. Launch Time Machine. 3. After a moment or two your Time Machine backup should show the same Music folder inside your. Open the Music folder your backup and let Time Machine restore the iTunes folder. This usually does quickly because the library files are rather small. 4. Open Music and go to Preferences. Click "Files" and make sure the path to your external files is correct. [/QUOTE]
