Other formats (like WAV or even the venerable SD2) seemed hit-or-miss, so you have to re-type the composer, artist, album name - anything like that. Everything that was an MP3 came over with data intact. I ended up instead importing from my disk into the new computer's 'Music' folders album-by-album. I renamed everything that looked same-but-changed-name (substituting 'Music' for 'iTunes' where it looked obvious) but it still didn't work.Īdmittedly, I may have blundered at one of the steps. If this is what you've done and it doesn't work when moving to "Music" app, I'm royally-screwed.Ĭlick to expand.Yes - alas, as wrote, the names / files appear to be slightly different. iTunes scans the lib and updates something.

If you guys are doing this and it's not working, I'll be in a heap of trouble when I upgrade to an AS Mac Pro eventually:Ĭopy the Album Artwork folder and iTunes l file to the new computer after erasing them on the destination. This is what I've always done moving from High Sierra on the Mac Pro to the laptop (living room stereo system).
