I'm a longtime Windows user who bought his first Macbook in January. Needless to say it's changed my love of computing as a 35 year old. I still have my Windows desktop which essentially was just being used as a media hub/torrent box/iTunes manager. That computer has finally kicked the bucket.
Here is my question...
My entire music library was stored on an external hard drive (approx 16GB worth). I also have iTunes Match so all of that is stored in the cloud as well. I set my new Macbook up as a trusted computer to access iTunes. Since I am scrapping my original Windows machine where I tagged new music and added it to iTunes, ultimately sending it to the cloud, can I now use this same workflow on my new Mac?
Basically this is my thought process. I do not need to store music locally anymore. I basically can tag it, add it to iTunes, let it to go the cloud and then delete the local files. I can then download them whenever I have a connection and need them for offline listening.
Will this cause any confusion between my original source for iTunes (windows box) and my new source (Macbook)? I think I may be overthinking this but would rather ask some seasoned Mac Veterans before doing anything.
Thanks in advance!
