This thing has devoured my Sunday morning.Īny and all help and assistance is greatly appreciated.
#Exporting m3u files from beatunes mac
Something so simple, but then I’ve seen Mac complicate simple things before with no warning or disregard, so I’m hoping someone knows something to help me find where these things live. Oh yeah, I also have an app running that makes invisible files visible. I wish there was a way to right click a playlist name, like you can a song in iTunes, and select “Show file in Finder.” But I tried it, right clicking does nothing. So the evidence say this iTunes location is running the media on the external drive, and can’t find anything for iTunes on the external except for the music files. The iTunes Media > iTunes file I’ve found much of this in DID, by the way, have what looked like all of the apps that I’ve bought, probably all my iPhone Voice Notes, and a group of E-music mp3’s I downloaded when my external drive hook up was not working, redirecting my library to the Main HD before I switched it back and copied all those files to the correct music location. I saw something about another file called iTunes l as a companion to. I tried directing Subsonic to this file, and to the folder containing it, but nothing ever changes Subsonic’s Home Screen always shows all my artists, but nothing under Playlists.
The doc’s and some posters seem to indicate that these contain all the iTunes metadata. xml, and some other variations of old versions of the same. Some of the typically mystifying Apple genius/whatever pages seem to be directing me towards a file within iTunes Media called iTunes Music Library.xml (and with Backup in the name just before. (Of course there is the red herring hits from people referring to the Playlist Folders *inside iTunes you create to group actual playlists,* but nothing else than similar dead ends regarding system folders with playlist files. I’ve been surfing Apple Support Pages and various forums for answers, and nothing is clearing anything up. Anyone with a huge library ever have any luck with it? What a waste.Īnyway, those are seriously the only folders I can find anywhere called Playlists. After taking like, seriously, hours to load my library, I had it generate a custom list based on a sample track, and it produced other tracks from the same album. DS_Store files, whatever the heck those are.)īy the way, the reason I stopped trying to use BeaTunes was it never worked for me, not once. (The only files that are updated for this morning are de-highlted. m3u8 files are all dated as last modified in 2011, with folders and playlists I’ve since deleted, and nothing new created since then.
This final folder has a copy of what looks something like my libraries playlists, but from 2 years ago, when I last even tried to really use BeaTunes the playlist. Searching in Finder, the only folders with Playlists in the name are within the location: Username/Music/beaTunes/ Besides a few that were obviously custom named by me within BeaTunes, there is one called iTunes Library (biglong#insidebrackets), and another simply called Playlists. The only folder with a promising name within, iTunes Playlists, contains only about a dozen xml files of specific playlists I exported to use with a label maker, and co-responding folder called Playlist Acoustica Labels, with a handful of similarly named files. Under my own Username there is Music, and iTunes within that, but here’s where it gets weird and messy. (Shouldn’t it say iTunes in there somewhere?) My Users/Shared folder has folders for other app’s like Adobe, but nothing for iTunes or Playlists. Subsonic’s default suggested path is /Users/Shared/Playlists. But I’ll be dang - diddley - anged if i can find the folder containing my playlists. I want to use Subsonic for long distance streaming, and setting it up to find the music files was no problem, they are on an external drive, the the rest should be on my main drive. I’ve used iTunes constantly for many years and do tons of library organization, have made hundreds of playlists, have a massive library with relatively few problems (in recent years at least) and use home sharing to stream to Apple TV, controlled with iPhone and iPad.
