iTunes from PC to Mac -- different case than tutorials I've read.

I've been using itunes on a PC for a LONG time. I am VERY particular about my music tags, my filing system, etc.

On my PC, I house both my iTunes folder and all of my music within D:\Josh\My Music. My music is within this folder by artist and album. This D drive is an external drive. I do not use my internal C drive for any of this.

On my PC, within iTunes Preferences Advanced:
itunes Media folder location: D:\Josh\Music
I DO NOT CHECK Keep iTunes Media folder organized
I DO NOT CHECK Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library.

I like to do everything manually and do not want my system messed with.

So, again, all music files, and all itunes "info" is already on this external drive. And I do not have enough space on my internal drive to copy this over.

I want to continue to use this external drive in a new set up on a Macbook. So I don't want to move my actual music to my Macbook's internal drives, I want iTunes to work with my external drive on the Mac the same way it does on my PC. Is this possible? How? I can't seem to find any tutorial that covers this.

Thanks in advance.
