Hello
Thanks for really nice and customizable app. I have tried all and i can sat its the best

I'm using mac (ventura) to manage my music library and cannot fully switch to windows
I'm using musicbee on windows to listen my library and importing it regularly when i added new songs
But there is some problems on importing. i listed them below

• Folders cannot be imported as playlist folders. they just imported as normal playlists
   Playlist that in a folder that has a parent ID key and regular playlists dont have this key
      <key>Parent Persistent ID</key><string>F15CC276A11AED39</string>
   Folders has
      <key>Folder</key><true/>
      <key>Playlist Persistent ID</key><string>F15CC276A11AED39</string>
   Im moving all related playlists to folders manually for now until its fixed

• Playlist folder also imported as normal playlist with all its sub items
   musicbee already can show all items when folder selected in playlist sidebar. so its a duplicate

• Musicbee also imports "All Items" as Playlist. i guess that should be hidden. I dont have a playlist with this name

• I have playlists that starts with a . or :: to sort playlist at beginning
   i guess this one related with windows not allows some characters on folders.
   might be solve giving a code or a unique name after folder name
   musicbee just cropped name of these playlist. "::selected" cropped as "selected"
   i have also "_" at beggining of name of some. it didnt crop these ones

• Musicbee shows files as missing if file path contains special characters after import
   "á" "ā" "ń" "ś" "ć" "é" "Ṿ" "Ʌ" "Ẏ" "ó" "Ó" "Ł"
   these ones is turkish characters "i" "İ" "ı" "I" "ü" "Ü" "ç" "Ç" "ş" "Ş" "ö" "Ö" "ğ" "Ğ"
   But added successfully after using locate file in context menu
   All special characters still exist in file path, MusicBee able to add these files with locate file so there is a problem while importing

This ones is off topic
• Musicbee imported Date added tag correctly. im so happy with that but it doesnt show year
   Fri 05 Jan 03:07 (musicBee)
   05.01.2024 03:07 (iTunes)
   I guess showing year is important here. Because sometimes i listen songs that i added in 2012

I can send my xml file if necessary. i got 2500 songs overall
