Yes they are text files.  I can open them and take a look.... but what
am I looking for?  I can't determine much by looking at them; for
example whether the Recently Added contains my most recently added
music.   Yes I can find a dict section with "Recently Added" but the
items there are coded with IDs that mean nothing to me.

So far I have tried naming the exported file "iTunes Music Library.xml"
and then used Clear Library and Rescan Everything in the LMS Advanced
tab (I am using version 8.2.0 r1627922070 by the way.)   Checking the
Web Player I can then look at my Recently Added playlist as LMS sees it,
and none of the new stuff is there.  I tried entering the Playlist
Folder path manually in the Library tab (still leaving the Use iTunes
box checked) and rescanned everything again.  No change.   I then tried
making a copy of the exported xml and calling it "iTunes Library.xml"
and rescanning again.  No change.

Do I need to uncheck the Use iTunes box?   If so, what exactly am I
supposed to put in the Music and Playlist paths, for a "normal"
iTunes/Music.app setup on my Mac?  It feels like I'm just flailing here.
It's been more than a year, I had hoped that someone else already
figured all this out.  I can't be the only one with a plain vanilla
setup on Mac to "use iTunes".

I guess what would be ideal is for LMS to gain a "use Music.app"
checkbox!   Since I don't expect that to happen, I am hoping I can find
some guidance on how to manually configure LMS for the equivalent
functionality to a "use Music.app" checkbox.
