I just got my new iMac a couple weeks ago and I got all of my photo stuff transferred from my old mac and set up just right...now I'm moving on to iTunes.

All of my music and my old iTunes library xml files are on an external firewire drive just waiting to be used with the new iMac. What is the best way to bring all of that stuff over? I'd like to just keep all of my music on that drive and use it as my iTunes drive. So, I'm assuming that all I'd need to do is go into Preferences and tell iTunes to look in the folder on the external.

My main concern is that on my old G4 I was still using iTunes 6 because my machine was too slow to handle itunes 7 when it first came out. So, the Library files and xml files and all that are still iTunes 6 files. Is this going to matter?? Or, will iTunes 8 recognize the old file and upgrade it to a shiny new iTunes 8 library file?
