Hi! I did move from a MacBook AIR to just a Mac mini with a wireless keyboard. It obviously won’t let you use it on the GO, so if this is important for you then you would need to likely stick with a laptop (MacBook Air or pro). If you do not move around it will work just fine with a wireless

I use iTunes Match since it puts the library in the cloud. You do have to pay, but it makes life so much easier. > On Sep 1, 2023, at 10:15, Traci Duncan wrote: > > Hi all, I am looking to upgrade my MacBook Air and will need to move my music > library. Could you guys remind me on how I do

That is not exactly correct. What iTunes Match does when you have music from CDs in your library, is it tries to “match” the music from your CDs with music in the iTunes database. This does not mean that the music that is matched by iTunes Match is exactly the same as the music from your CDs.
