Currently my iTunes library is stored on a secondary drive in my Mac Pro.
On my new iMac I'm going to migration assistant the startup disk to the internal iMac drive, and then copy over all the data from that secondary drive.
iTunes on the iMac probably won't find the iTunes data because it will be looking for it on a secondary volume, correct?
If I go into the iTunes preferences and select the location where the iTunes data is, will it bring it all in? In my experience the only way to properly import data into iTunes is to drag it into the open iTunes window, but I don't want to resort to that.
Would it be simpler to re-transfer the iTunes data onto my startup disk on the Mac Pro before transferring that disk over to the iMac with migration assistant?
What would you do to ensure a smooth transition?
