Questions / Take Library from Itunes/Mac to Musicbee/W10

« on: June 14, 2020, 04:50:37 PM »

Hello All!

Earlier I made a thread (https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=31659.0)
Turns out... The music did not all copy when I did all that work.

So now I'm in the market to get the entire library, including songs and playlists from a mac (snow Leopard, yes, thats why I asked my parents to switch) to windows 10.

Please let me know if there is an easy  way, a program or whatever.... I got time, the last time it took me 4 hours, and 2 hours of looking up stuff afterwards.

Thanks for the help!

Questions / Adding playlist from folders in explorer

« on: May 24, 2020, 12:05:12 PM »

Hello all!

I am currently working on a PC for my parents.
They are moving from Mac to Windows.

Since they have acquired quite a few songs over their times, and they don't like streaming,they would like to keep all of it.
They are not able to do this by themselves so I'm doing it for them.

However, I have been painstakingly moving all their playlist from Itunes into maps, and adding the music.
Its nice and organised and back in my day that is how we made playlists/folders. (I'm not _that_ old, its just that I haven't used a media player in a while).
I would now like to add all these folders as playlists to Musicbee.
However I have a few problems:

1. I cannot select an option to just convert them to playlists (this would be ideal, but I don't think this exists)
2. I cannot drop the songs into the playlists by hand (get an error/no entry sign on the mouse) ( I have copied all the folders into the MusicBee playlist folder, since I REALLY don't want to type it all out again.)
3. I cannot search for most of the songs.
  3.1 This would take a stubid ammount of time
  3.2 I got about 3k songs that don't even have a name if I import the music via the library.

Please tell me there is something I'm missing.

Thanks from a desperate son.
