Moving Apple Music library from MacBook to Windows after MacBook has broken

I have a bit of an issue. My MacBook Pro has decided to pack up and no longer powers on at all.

My Issue is that I now need to move my Apple Music library (over 100GB) over to my Windows laptop and I would like to keep all of the playlists and metadata if possible.

I can access the Mac SSD drive and I have an adapter and software to be able to view these files on Windows. However, from what I understand, a Mac stores the library files differently to Windows.

Does anybody know of any possible way I can get Apple Music on my laptop to recognise my Mac library file and restore all of my playlists and metadata?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.6
