will my itunes library on external HD play on the newer Mac music app?

iTunes library?

iTunes is an organizing/playing program. It owns nothing like a library does.

Jobs put one over on you.

I understand that itunes doesn't 'own' the library. when I connect my HD to my older itunes-containing mac, it shows up in the finder as 'itunes library'. my question is whether the newer macs, which no longer have itunes, will 'see' the library and I'll be able to play my files without having to do some major reconfiguring project.

II’ve seen no iOS programs that havn’t been backwards compatible. But I ain’t looking either.

Therefore the answer is probably.

Apple claims to be so simple that you just might figure it out.

Open up the Music app, go to Preferences, then select Files. Add your external drive as a Music Media Folder location - link.
