[SOLVED] iTunes Library Import Error - System Null Reference Exception

[Loafykat]

I'm trying to import an iTunes library that's located on another drive (in this case F:\), but I keep getting the following error:

Code

MusicBee v3.5.8447.35892D  (Win10.0), 2 Jul 2023 23:26:

I have a fresh install of Musicbee and was hoping to transition to it as a replacement for iTunes, but unfortunately I can't seem to even get my music out of the program because of this error. AFAIK, my iTunes Library.xml file is formatted correctly, although the library itself is admittedly quite old--I've transferred it across Macs and PCs since at least 2008--could it be that an mp3 file somewhere is corrupted? The library has 5000+ songs so I admit I'm not exactly sure where to begin looking.

I exported a fresh copy of the library XML just to be safe and still ran into the same problem when I attempted importing it into Musicbee again. I'm out of ideas as to what the issue may be. Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thank you!

try the patch version as i think that is already fixed
https://getmusicbee.com/patches/MusicBee35_Patched.zip
unzip and replace the existing musicbee application files

The patch worked perfectly! I was able to import all 5000+ songs without a hitch and can finally ditch iTunes. Thank you, and please keep up the awesome work with MusicBee!
