Where is master database?

Hi,

I am running Mojave on MacBook Air. 

I had issues when upgrading to Catalina and when Apple support advised me to revert back to Mojave when various apps started playing up... it hit the fan.

I couldn't restore from Time Machine but I had moved all of my music files along with Pioneer Folder & Rekordbox folder to my brand new Pioneer 3D NAND (Ahead of my XZ arriving next week) 

This new HD is named DJ Music in photo attached.

The Old HD is Test HD which is where I transferred the files and folders from.

I downloaded Rekordbox 6 and that's as far as I have got because I ain't wanting to screw this up!!

 

Do I import my files in first?

What Drive am I selecting for Master Database to have all my playlists / artwork etc from before?

Thanks in advance.

You should be able to attach / link an image; do you not see this toolbar above your posting window?

So long as the Pioneer folders from your Library folder are back in the right place, if your username is the same, the files will point to the right places, and all will be happy and shiny. If the username is different, that will cause a problem that requires a bit of trickery.

With the music in a different drive name, that's a simple process of using the mass-relocation, provided the database loads properly. DO NOT import them a second time.

If you need help with these steps, please let us know.

Tried uploading photo but keep getting '?' in a blue square

 

Thanks for the reply but in terms of what you have explained.... I am absolutely clueless where to begin.

Where is the 'right place' my folder should be in? 

Apple support advised I move my music files and Rekordbox onto new external.
