New MacBook Pro M4 Max 36GB/1TB Traktor Pro 4 setup help

DJRosko

so I’ve just now played “beat the tariffs” on a new M4 Max MacBook Pro-I currently have Traktor 3.6.2 installed but I’ve got the Mac storage optimized so I always get the warning. Here’s my plan and I could use some help.

1. I am planning on completely moving my mp3/track library to an external SSD.
   
2. I’m planning on setting the new MacBook Pro up fresh (only doing a thunderbolt port over of my other non mp3/music related stuff) and the using native access to upgrade to Traktor Pro 4 with my upgrade price.
   

In the new Mac OS-there is the ability to “keep downloaded” files/folders you want local-my question(s) are

1. Will that work for the Traktor 3.6.2 collection/playlist import or will it be a broken collection/fail a consistency check because the music is scattered?

2. How can I either

A. get my current Traktor collection/playlists re-pointed to the music tracks on the external hard drive?
B. Otherwise migrate my playlists and collection re-pointing to the mp3 files which will now be on a hard drive and/or have them on my new MacBook Pro?

Please help! Thanks in advance. Began having this convo the other day but I’ve bit the bullet now and I’m anxious to transfer over and get my S4Mk3 up and running for a nice DJ set on the new machine.
