I just formatted my PC. All my Itunes stuff is on my Synology NAS, in /mp3. I want to cut/paste all the subfolders that itunes made (ie. Apple Music, Automatically Add to itunes, mobile applications, music, tones, voice memos) and put them in /music on my nas.

Now with a fresh install of itunes, can I just map that folder, /music, to say Y:\, and go into itunes, point it to that directory, and be done?

Edit: When you say put all folders inside /music into the Automatically Add to Itunes, are you refering to my subfolders that were copied over?

First make that folder and point iTunes to it. Next put all folders in /music in the 'Add Automatically to iTunes' folder. iTunes will organize those folders the way it was before.
This is the easiest way to import files
