I tried to do an Export to iTunes. Doesn't look like the "Path to iTunes Music (export)" is working; I looked in the generated .txt file, and saw that all of the paths to the music files are still pointing to the SlimServer path. This is correct for the majority of my older .mp3 files. The .flac extension files have been renamed as .mp3 extensions (the . is important in the config string!), but the base path was not changed.
I notice that there are some occasional weird characters in the .txt file too. I think I may have some filenames containing accented characters (I don't normally put any non-ascii chars in filenames, I will probably change these), so maybe there's some problem with unicode/UTF8. I ran the iTunesUpdateWin.pl script to load the .txt content into iTunes. I think this is working for the files that are shared (mp3 files in slimserver where the same path has been loaded into iTunes). However, get a lot of trace out of the perl script - I see it searching for various possible matches. A lot of files fail to be located, which I believe are areas of my music library that are not present in iTunes (such as live music concerts in flac format that I never convert to mp3). It would be good to be able to run "Export to iTunes" on a specific subset (essentially a configured mulit-library), rather than the whole library. I can parse the .txt file through grep to remove unnecessary export entries as an optimisation though. I see some files do some wildcard search and there are thousands of possible hits. After iterating through thousands of lines, it says track found and goes onto next. Perhaps the perl script could be configured to only log errors and warnings (tracks that are not found)?
