Perhaps some things in the following Apple Support article will help you get moved.

see > Transfer from PC to Mac with Migration Assistant - Apple Support

You may also be able to access your Music on the external drive without having to move it to the new Mac mini.

Mac can natively read and write to FAT32 and ExFAT formatted pc drives and can read NTFS drives.

Unless you are using another drive format the Mac should be fine to copy your data from your external pc drive to a drive formatted for Mac use if you wish.
