I’ve had PCs for 25 years but now have Apple gear bar a MacBook - IPhones, iPads, iPods, Apple TVs but am now sorely tempted to splurge on a 16 MacBook Pro but have been unable to find any info on how to transfer my iTunes library over whilst retaining all the metadata especially playcounts as my smart playlists dictate my listening habits. I hated moving my library from an old laptop to a new laptop and the whole process always fills me with dread as only once did it work first time.
I don’t particularly think iTunes is very good compared to other music management software but is the only one that plays nice with all my Apple gear and does what I need it do despite it being buggy from time to time on both my laptop and iOS devices.
If I can’t move the library across easily I may to have consider abandoning Apple altogether but the options around don’t quite fit how I listen to music. I’d never consider streaming as I have a carefully curated 25000 song library
