As newbie I first have to say hello to the Interact Forum
hopefully I get some answers from the community here, thanks a lot in advance
I use JRiver in combination with NI TRAKTOR2, especially for creating playlists - which is much easier and comfortable in this way. Recently I upgraded my MC to the last stable version 19.0.67 and now I have a strange problem to import the existing, with the former MC version generated playlists in my new MC version. Weird is that I have no problem with importing the same playlists in iTunes oder TRAKTOR2, but whenever I try importing the same playlist with the actual MC version I get the following message:
As Textfile:
Library now has .... files. Search and update took 0:00.
Imported 0 new files.
Updated 1 file that had external changes.
In-depth details:
Updated: E:\Eigene Musik\_Playlists\Dark Wave_E.txt
Example of *.txt data:
Ashes to Ashes David Bowie David Bowie Scary Monsters [Bonus Tracks] Rock 10695040 267 4 1980 04.02.2013 22:26 08.02.2013 18:34 320 44100 MPEG-Audiodatei E:\Eigene Musik\David Bowie\Scary Monsters [Bonus Tracks]\04 - Ashes to Ashes.mp3
If I import the same playlist in m3u format, MC can open the playlist.
Example of *.m3u data:
#EXTINF:267,Ashes to Ashes - David Bowie
E:\Eigene Musik\David Bowie\Scary Monsters [Bonus Tracks]\04 - Ashes to Ashes.mp3
But this means I have to first import all playlists in *.txt format first in iTunes and save them in *.m3u format. Nearly all the time I do this iTunes will loss same songs (cannot find the song in the playlist even though it is at the right place). Unfortunately TRAKTOR2 also has some issues with the M3U import format and works best with *.txt format
May be I`m in the wrong - but I could swear I imported all the time without any errors the *.txt playlist format in / from MC V18?
