OK, after further digging I think I may have found the answer to my initial question. The data appears to be in files like these:
C:\Users\terry\Dropbox\MM Backup\1950s Favourites.m3u
Its opening lines are:
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:197,Ella Fitzgerald - Someone To Watch Over Me
C:\Docs\My Music\Ella Fitzgerald\Sentimental Journey 23\Ella Fitzgerald - Someone To Watch Over Me.mp3
#EXTINF:188,Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong - Can Anyone Explain
C:\Docs\My Music\Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong\Sentimental Journey 126\Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong - Can Anyone Explain.mp3
#EXTINF:165,Frankie Laine - Dream a Little Dream of Me
C:\Docs\My Music\Frankie Laine\Foreign Affair-Reunion in Rhythm Disc 2\Frankie Laine - Dream a Little Dream of Me.mp3
So my new question becomes: how should I proceed now? I assume I need to use my text editor to globally replace all strings 'C:\Docs\My Music\' with 'D:\Music', which is where I now store all my tracks (in the same structure as on my old PC). But where do I then re-locate the new M3U files please?
In an attempt to answer that I made a new playlist called 'xyz', added a single track, closed MediaMonkey and searched for a file with 'xyz' in its name dated today. But there was none.
