Movies, but not music videos, end up in the Apple TV app, podcasts end up in the Podcasts app, and audiobooks have moved to the Apple Books app.Įach app manages its own media library once the upgrade is performed. All of your music, including music videos, will end up in the Music app. The upgrade process pulls the appropriate media files from iTunes and places them in the corresponding app’s library. The new macOS Catalina media apps will upgrade your old iTunes library to the new format that each individual app (Music, Apple TV, and Podcasts) needs. If the volume doesn’t contain a Mac system, you should be able to place the library files just about anywhere. If you’re targeting a library move to an internal or external volume that also contains a Mac OS, you may need to place the libraries within that drive’s /User folder. In this guide, we’re going to consider User space as any file location within the User directory this includes all of the User home folders and shared folders.

One way to manage this problem is to move the media apps libraries to a new location that has plenty of free space to house your ever-growing collection of music and videos. The point is that if you have a large media collection that you’re using with Music, Apple TV, or Podcasts, you may run up against the limited space on the startup drive.
