How transfer My Collection, including audio files to another device

I have now experimented a bit, and it almost works.

I copy over the directory containing the audio files from my Mac to local storage on the iOS device (iPad in this case). I also copy over the medialibrary. When I start DJay I see the expected playlists in My Collection. And as expected the tracks are not linked to any files.

I can relink tracks by first making a linked folder to the audio files directory I copied over. But to re-link those audio files to the playlists, I have to browse down to each individual sub folder that contains audio files and select “Add all to playlist…”. Then I need to specify a playlist to add to. For this test I created a temporary playlist in My Collection called “relink”. Now the audio files in that specific sub folder are re-linked.

The problem is that I have to go through all sub folders to re-link all, which is not practical with a large-ish collection. If only I could do a recursive “Add to My Collection…” when in the root of the linked folder. DJay on MacOS supports recursively adding a linked folder to My Collection. Could we have that also on iOS?
