Playlist problem
AudibleImagery:
Hello, I've been experiencing a serious issue for the past couple of weeks in which MC 32 crashes and deletes my playlists in the process. I've been able to restore my playlists with a backup over the past couple of weeks but that is no longer working now. Can someone please help? I use my library and playlists at work and am in dire need to fix this problem.
JimH:
MC won't delete playlists unless you tell it to.
Disk problem?
AudibleImagery:
I'm not telling it to delete playlists. I don't have any disk problems as far as I know.
I backup my library folder from my computer to a NAS using an application called Synology Drive Client. I also backup the same library folder to a cloud using an application called pCloud Drive. I've been using this process for a few years now but I haven't had this problem with playlists being deleted until MC 32.
I don't know if this is relevant but my library has 320,000 tracks and I have roughly 100+ playlists.

Did you try restoring a MC Library backup? If you just backup the Library folder you might be running into issues with the settings files not matching.
AudibleImagery:
I tried restoring a library backup but the most recent backup that restored my playlists was from 3 days ago and I've made hundreds of changes in that time and so I'm going to have to spend all night rebuilding my playlists by hand.
When I say library folder I'm referring to [User]>Music>JRiver on my Mac. I don't backup JRiver's ViewHeaderImage folder (called "J River") and I don't backup the "Temp" folder either because those cause my backup applications to sync constantly. Is this what you'r referring to regarding the settings files not matching? I'm a little confused as to why that would be a problem though because my backup goes from my Mac to my NAS and Cloud and I don't run my library from either of those locations—my library is located on my Mac.
