Has anyone had success importing iTunes playlists in MC for Mac? If so plz help
xj32:
No, I have my whole iTunes library/IE all of my media from iTunes imported fine.
I just have about 100 playlists or so that I have meticulously created in itunes that I am trying to import through xml. As mentioned in my 1st post the smart playlists are a breeze to recreate, but recreating regular playlists has been problematic because when I drag files into a new order in media center often the program crashes or freezes with a spinning beach ball.
MrC:
You can export into the M3U format and import those in MC. But you'll have to convert the old Mac style \r line terminator character to \n. I use the dos2unix utility to do this:
dos2unix -c mac playlist.m3u
but you probably don't have this on your system (I have mine through macports). I can write you a quick script to do this if you need one, or you can zip all your playlists together and send them to me for mass conversion, and I'll send them back. You can them import each.

Ok, since I have no idea what you are talking about the \r line terminator...ha ha
I will export my playlists tonight and tomorrow and will send them to you to see what you can do thanks!!!
More info for the development team, I just tried building a play list and there seams to be a bug where any time of dropping and dragging is crashing the program. In other words when I tray and drag a whole album into a playlist it crashes.

One more update. I was able to build my first playlist (non smart) by using the send to option.
MrC:
Here's another way that might help you.
Download the file:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/87189402/itunesm3u_2_MC.zip
and place it on your Desktop, and unzip it. It is an Automator script which will convert iTunes m3u playlists into MC m3u playlists.
Drag one or more iTunes m3u playlists onto the Automator script and they will then be converted into MC-importable m3u playlists.
Edit: I've tested it on Mountain Lion and Mavericks. Reports indicate it does not work on 10.6.8.
