Importing itunes XML playlists

(1/2) > >>

oserani:
I think I used to be able to get this to work in previous versions.  I export an itunes playlist file in XML format.  My itunes runs on my mac, so the contents of the xml file need to be tweaked.  I am changing file://localhost/volumes to the apropriate path.  It looks like MC reads all files, because it does take a while on the process for the import, but when it's all done, the imported playlist does not contain any songs.  It does take the playlist name though.  I thought I was doing some incorrect find/replace for the MAC XML file, but then i tested an XML file generated on an itunes running on a PC and had even worse luck.  The playlist didn't even get created in MC13, and just the XML file "as such"  got imported.

JimH:
What version of iTunes are you using?  Maybe the playlist format has changed.

Yaobing:
You must import the playlist by using File->Import Playlist... tool.

I'm using iTunes 8, creating playlists on my mac.  I use the File/Library/Export Playlist sequence on iTunes, and export the XML to a network drive where the rest of my machines are.  I use the file/import/playlist command on the MC13 side, and it just imports the XML itself, which gets added to the library, but the actual songs and playlist structure don't come over.

any other thoughts.  Thanks.
