For many years my music tracks library has lived under music/itunes media/music since it started as an itunes PC library. I have been using JRiver since around 2016 from memory, and I have the JRiver auto-import pointed to the same itunes media hierarchy of folders. Therefore for a many years while I still had an account balance in itunes I could run both and they could be run independently of each other with no issues (except trying to access the same track at the same time). Of course itunes just ignored my ever growing FLAC files colection when it imported.
Now it's lime to ditch the itunes skeletons and xml files etc as I have not used itunes for at least 3-4 years after emptying the account $ balance. So I want to lift my whole library up by cutting out the 'itunes media' folder.
I know I can do a bunch of things with F6 move,copy etc, or just moving the subfolders in explorer and let JRiver run for ~ 1 day removing broken links and reimporting them - but I want to preserve the import dates. The 'recent' sort order which is my default way of looking at it so anything I add is at the top of the list. I have about 55-60,000 tracks - so I don't want to screw it up and change the import dates in the tags.
I figure a number of people would have started with this layout and I'm hoping I can learn from others experience - of doing a similar thing? Any thoughts (Yes I have read the Wiki page)
