Playlist problem

I will avoid letting my Mac close MC for updates in the future but this problem with my playlists randomly deleting has happened in other circumstances.

I'm always backing up with manual and automatic library backups in MC. I backed up manually and automatically about 20 times from 3/20 through 3/25. None of those backups saved the full playlist information except for one backup from 3/20.

@Audible:
Jim is right that you should test your disk.
To rule out this type of corruption perhaps you can do this: the next time it happens, do NOT close MC; find this playlistx.jmd file in your library folder and make a copy of it to some other location. Then restart MC and make another copy of the same file. Then share both files here.

How do I go about checking my disk? Should I take it to a computer repair store?
I will make it a point to do what you said with respect to making a copy of the playlist.jmd file the next this happens which should be in the next couple of days.

You can check SMART to see if there are bad sectors reported. Smartmon can do it, maybe another Mac user knows another UI tool for this:

I took my computer to a store that specializes in Mac repairs and had them check SMART to see if they could detect bad sectors but they found nothing. They told me they even ran the test a second time just to be sure.
I left my computer with them for a few days to see if they could recreate the issue but they were unable to do so.
