Sadly that will not be me (my skills in this area became stale years ago.) I did the XML export but the djtechtools instructions above appear to be from 2019... are they still accurate? For example they say to rename the exported file iTunes Music Library.xml and place it in the /<username>/iTunes folder. Since my Mac goes back more than a decade, I have various library xml files in this folder, but the newest from mid-2021 is named just "iTunes Library.xml" The existing file there named "iTunes Music Library.xml" is dated 2013. It seems I need slightly more detailed instructions or a confirmation on what LMS is looking for when the "use iTunes" checkbox is checked (or confirmation that it doesn't matter if pointing to the file directly.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pricebrad's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2326 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112369 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
