When I run the script in Automator with the playlist file created in iTunes, it did not return any results. (in regard to above topic)

Any alternative solutions?

Where can I find detailed explanation for transfering playlists?

thank you..

Despite jtwrace all efforts to help I still can't get playlist (songs) from iTunes properly.

Even though I can transfer a playlist from iTunes to MC the songs don't transfer. So the only thing I get is a name for the playlist but the playlist remains empyt.

Can you zip the iTunes playlist and attach it here to a reply, and I'll take a look.

[sinus]

Attached is a M3U list.

[MrC]

The Automator script converted the file correctly.  You just need to use MC to import it (File > Import Playlist).

Note: the paths inside the playlist must be correct, or MC won't import the files.  Open the playlist with a text editor and check them.  It isn't clear from this thread if this playlist came from a local iTunes or one on another machine.

I am using an external Hard Drive, both iTunes and Mc are reading files from this Disk.

The paths inside the playlist appears to be correct in the Text Editor. When I import the playlist to MC it shows up under the "imported playlists" but no songs appear under the playlist.

I have tried it on another laptop with local music files in case of an external path problem. But it failed exactly as before.

I assume I am following all the steps correctly. But surely something missing or going wrong.

Is there a chance that I can not do the conversion right in the Automator?

This seems to be an MC Mac problem.  Neither MC18 nor MC18 are importing Unix/Mac style paths in an M3U playlist.

Currently I'm using MC 19.0.74.

Will there be a fix for this problem? A lot of people are waiting this issue to be resolved to move from iTunes to JRiver.

Any updated information on the way to do this?

[sinus]

Is there any progress about this situation? Is there an alternative way to sort out this problem?

It's been over a month now and I'm still unable to use my MC.

If MrC is correct, it's a bug.  You can report it as a post in the thread that announced the build.  Make sure you are using the latest build first.

It's probably the same thing as reported in this thread:

It should be fixed in an upcoming build after the Holidays.
