Export music on a Mac with Apple's Music app to a Windows PC with iTunes

Going Windows to Mac is relatively straightforward as Music can read and convert an iTunes .itl file. If the library is in a portable shape then it should work, although I've not actually confirmed. It may be complicated by the fact that the converted Music database doesn't usually go into the same folder as the old .itl file. Regardless, going the other way is much more complicated as iTunes for Windows cannot read a .musiclibrary database. The solution is going to be to export the Music library as an XML file, then transfer both the media folder and the XML to the Windows machine. Before attempting to import the XML file it will need to be edited so that it correctly reflects the new location of each file. Typically metadata is embedded into tracks, apart for files in .wav format, so that would mostly survive a new import of the transferred media, but rating, play counts, playlists, etc. are properties of the library rather than individual tracks so will be reset unless you import an edited XML. Note this method will lose all date added information as this isn't a property that iTunes reads in from the XML.
