I've seen some similar topics in my searches, but nothing that hits on my problem.
I have MusicBee installed on a PC running Windows 7 and have my music on a MacBook Pro running El Capitan. I'm using iTunes on the Mac and want to export my playlists for use with MusicBee. I created a playlist of only a single song so you can see what my issue is.
Here is what my playlist looks like from iTunes:
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:324,Depraved - Anberlin
/Volumes/Data/iTunes/iTunes Music/Anberlin/Dark Is The Way, Light Is A Place/10 Depraved.mp3
If I create the identical playlist in MusicBee, this is what it looks like:
M:\iTunes Music\Anberlin\Dark Is The Way, Light Is A Place\10 Depraved.mp3
When I attempted to import it, MusicBee said it couldn't. So I figured, just flip the slashes and change /Volumes/Data/iTunes/ to M:\, right? Wrong. If I change it to this:
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:324,Depraved - Anberlin
M:\iTunes Music\Anberlin\Dark Is The Way, Light Is A Place\10 Depraved.mp3
the playlist will actually import (ie. it shows up under the playlists) - but it's empty. So I figured that the issue is all this crap leading up to the path:
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:324,Depraved - Anberlin
I've tried deleting individual lines, it doesn't help. Both have to be gone in order for the file to be read. The first is easy - I can use Find/Replace to get rid of it. The problem is the second line, since it's different for every single song.
I don't care about any data (eg. # of plays), I just don't want to have to recreate the playlists, and going through the file and individually deleting those lines would basically be the same thing. Does anyone have any suggestions?
