Hi!
I recently upgraded my MusicBee to version 3.5.8249 and I'm having a bit of trouble adapting to a few of the changes, now everytime I import a playlist into MusicBee, all the duplicate tracks from that playlist are automatically gone and it's not really what I want, so I wanted to ask, is there a way I can import a playlist without having duplicates automatically removed like previous versions did?

Thank you so much

what steps do you take to import a playlist? and when you say import a playlist, do you mean add it to an existing playlist?

So, when I edit my playlists I usually edit the amount of each track I want on excel, then save them to a notepad file saved .m3u
Then I use File > Playlists > Import Playlists... to add that file to MusicBee
The import works fine and tracks are added correctly, just not at the count that I chose like it used to be, but just one of each instead


this is what it looks like on notepad, it adds to the amount of 9653 tracks


and this is what it looks like after imported into musicbee with only one of each track

thanks a lot

In Notepad it looks like you're adding the same track multiple times. Is that correct?
And you want multiple copies of the same track in the same playlist. Is that correct?

Why?
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.

Yes, that's correct.  It's just the way I listen to music, I add tracks multiple times depending on how much I like them, create a huge playlist and then shuffle them and listen to them for days

Interesting strategy...
