Wndows media player to Apple Itunes


I have ripped quite a few CD's to my external hardrive using WMP11 as my library. They are ripped in Windows Lossless format. I want to purchase a new computer and was thinking of switching to Apple. Would this be an easy transition. Can I hook my external to the Apple and play music off it and use the Itunes setup or would this be to complicated to do. Should I just purchase another Windows PC.

Yes and Yes. My seagate was and still is formated with MSDOS FAT 32 (Windows)and is still connected to my mac and working fine. I used iTunes to import and sort my music. Once on my mac HD I used iTunes to convert 50% from mp3 to apple lossless.
I’m still learning mac and use the following help page:

Is the apple you have PC compatible or an older model. I'm not sure but I think some Macs are not. I'm assuming all the new Mac models are PC compatible.
Mine is the last of of there product line that has not changed processors, G5 to Intel Dual Core. It's not PC compatible nor do I want or need it to be. My Son has a new MacBook laptop with the newer processor. Other than hardware options I can’t see a difference. If your are not familiar the new/older mac’s below is a link the apples G5 page. Check out the spec’s and the way the case is engineered and constructed. The darn thing is built like a BMW. Very impressive design.
