Transfer Music Library to new Mac

I am running MacOS Sequoia. I am trying to transfer my Music from MacMiini Pro 2 to MacMiniPro 4. I copied MusicLibrary.musiclibrary from my old Mac and loaded on my new Mac. When I try to play a song I get the following - The song "XYZ" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Mac mini, macOS 15.1

Glad to hear you've fixed things. If you still have some legacy structure from an earlier iTunes library it may complicate the process of migrating the library from one machine or drive to another. See Managing your Mac media libraries - Apple Community for some advice on tweaking the layout and other housekeeping steps you might find useful.
