What version of MB are you using? (Help > About)
How was MB installed? (Store, Installer, Portable)
What steps are you taking to export the playlist?
What playlist format are you exporting to?
Does this happen with all playlists or just a specific one?
If specific, does it happen every time you try to export it?
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.

MusicBee v3.5.8109.36974D,  Win11, Installer.
Selecting random tracks in library, right click, add to playlist, external playlist. The same happens if i choose to export any playlist within the playlist tree-view.
As you can see, I can't choose the format, there is no option, but i believe it's m3u.
All.  :)

Thanks for the additional information.

You can't select a format from the window showing in your screenshot. To select the exported playlist format: Preferences > Library > playlists > exported playlists > use the dropdown to try with different formats.

This seems like a windows 11 bug. That dialog is a standard windows file save dialog.
I dont have windows 11 myself at the moment to see what is going on.
Make sure the "exported playlists" path in the Library preferences is a valid folder. The path used can be relative to where your library is located

Hi Steven.

You are probably correct, It seems like a Windows 11 bug, as long as i remember, i didn't face this problem while i was using Windows 10.
The export path is a valid one.



Just tested on Windows 10.
It work just fine.
