MC iTunes Synchronizer (using MC with an iPhone or iPod Touch) [v6.0.2]

<< < (195/205) > >>

BartMan01:
iTunes Match causes me no end of issues, with playlists particularly. The best solution I have found is to do the following when syncing:
* Delete any playlists synced from MC and force update the iTunes Match library to push the deletions to the cloud
* Sign out of my account in iTunes
* Sync with iTunes Synchronizer
* Sign back in to my account in iTunes and if needed add the computer back to iTunes Match and let it sync

I don't sync that often. This would be more of a pain if I was doing this daily or even weekly.

I keep the iTunes and JRiver files in sync by dragging all new imports to JRiver over to iTunes.
Then in iTunes delete all the playlists.
Go to JRiver and export all playlists.
Them move the playlists over to a convenient location.
And import the playlists into iTunes. 
If you have a large number of songs and a large number of playlists as I have, this is easier and faster than MCIS.
No songs are duplicated in iTunes and all playlists are added with each playlist in sync with the way the songs are in the JRiver Playlists.  Now occasionally I will have a playlist that is missing a song, but mostly this works fine.
I use to use MCIS all the time but it takes forever. 
I am not interested in anything but the convenience of having playlists identical to JRiver for my iPhone sync.
Hope this helps.

I have tried to import multiple playslist into iTunes per description above and it appears iTunes still only allows a single playlist to be imported.  Are you (TXgary) using a third party software to do the import or ?

TXgary:
Here is the simple solution.
Make sure iTunes is pointing to the same music as JRiver.
Create a folder on your computer to hold exported playlists from JRiver
Export 1 or all (can export 2 one at a time) from JRiver to folder in .M3U format
Open iTunes -> select Music at the top -> File -> Add Folder to Library
This takes some time.  I usually delete playlists from iTunes that have been changed in JRiver, then export those to a folder and add that folder to iTunes.  There will be the playlists in order same as JRiver.
Easy to delete all playlists in iTunes and export all in JRiver then add that folder to iTunes and over a period of time all the playlists will show in iTunes in the correct order (meaning the order of each song in each playlist.)
I hope this helps

TXgary:
I posted the below earlier and it works fine, the problem is deleting the old playlists in iTunes. Cannot multiple delete unless the playlists are under a folder and then you can delete the complete folder.
The the question is "how to import playlists into iTunes into a folder?" 
I don't have an answer for that.
My solution below does not work without a way to delete all the playlists easily from iTunes.
Does anyone have a solution for deleting multiple playlists from iTunes?
Below is a rewrite of my solution for exporting playlists from JRiver and importing all into iTunes.

Here is the simple solution.
Make sure iTunes is pointing to the same music as JRiver.
Create a folder on your computer to hold exported playlists from JRiver

I hope this helps.

Sorry, I don't have the complete solution.

TXgary:
Mr. Wallstreet
Another thought is to create a playlist in JRiver of each of your sub playlists that you want together on your player before importing to iTunes.  Then you have the songs in a playlist that you want instead of having to select each playlist.
