So far I have used iTunes and Traktor on Windows. Now I've moved my iTunes library to a Mac. I simply imported the iTunes library into the new Music app. That worked really well. Everything works in Music.

In Traktor Pro I see the music library at the bottom, just like iTunes before. But all files cannot be played because the file is not found. So of course I can't add them to my collection.
What can I do so that they are found?
And how do I deal with this further, because the Music App no longer has an XML file.

    In this case i would you suggest to do a consistency checkup and relocate all of your files. Maybe your entries pointing to an old direction in your library and need a refresh:

    Checking Consistency of your Track Collection

    Importing tracks without analysis, reorganization of local music folders, and deleting tracks from from local music folders lead to an inconsistent Track Collection. To keep track of your changes you can execute a Consistency Check on your Track Collection and get a detailed result in the Consistency Check Report.

    The Consistency Check Report Dialog

    The Consistency Check Report provides an overview of your Track Collection and provides options for immediately solving problems.

    Consistency Check Report dialog.

    • Tabs: Selects the individual tab with detailed information about the Consistency Check Report.
    • Relocate button: Opens the Relocate dialog to start relocation of missing tracks.
    • Remove Missing button: Removes references to not existing tracks from the Track Collection.
    • Analyze button: Starts analysis of tracks to be analyzed or to be re-analyzed, respectively.
    • Lists all missing tracks in the Track Collection.
    • Lists all tracks in the Track Collection that need to be analyzed or re-analyzed, respectively.
    Show Overview Tab
    • Total Tracks: The total number of tracks in your Track Collection.
    • Tracks Missing: The total number of tracks that have been deleted from your hard drive or moved from their original location.
    • Tracks Not Analyzed: The total number of tracks that have not been analyzed.
    • Tracks Missing Stripe: The total number of tracks that have been imported and analyzed but their Stripe view information has been moved or deleted.
    • Total Tracks To Analyze: The total number of tracks that need to be analyzed or re-analyzed, respectively.
    • Lists all missing tracks in the Track Collection.
    Missing Tracks Tab
    • Lists all missing tracks in the Track Collection.
    Tracks To Analyze Tab
    • Lists all tracks in the Track Collection that need to be analyzed or re-analyzed, respectively.

    Executing Consistency Check

    1. Right-click the Track Collection folder in the Browser Tree to open the context menu.
    2. Once Traktor has run the check, the Consistency Check Report will appear showing the results.

    Executing Consistency Check on Traktor Startup

    To execute the Consistency Check and show its Report when starting Traktor:

    1. Open the File Management page in the Preferences.
    2. Check the box labeled Show Consistency Check Report on Startup.
    3. The Consistency Check will now be executed each time you start Traktor.

    Executing the Consistency Check on startup can increase Traktor’s startup time.

    Oh... This is not my work. It's just copy and paste from the knowledge base.

    Either way… Knowledge base is a confusing mess. Always good to have someone with bookmarks to the relevant sections post where needed. 😎
