Rekordbox 6 not loading iTunes Library
After upgrading to rekordbox 6, I am no longer able to view my iTunes library within the app (no playlists load).
I keep both my iTunes and rekordbox libraries on an external drive, and the iTunes Library XML and Database Management paths are correctly set in rekordbox preferences.

macOS Catalina 10.15.4
iTunes 12.9.5.5
rekordbox 6.0.0 rev.18624-16955-16959

@Salva > iTunes doens't exist in Catalina; you need to manually export the XML from the Music application and then point rekordbox to that XML (it's not updated automatically).
Thanks for the reply.
I was having issues with Music.app when I upgraded to Catalina, so I installed iTunes via Retroactive (https://github.com/cormiertyshawn895/Retroactive/).
So rekordbox 6 just assumes the XML is from Music.app if it sees the OS is Catalina? Wouldn't it make more sense read the app/version info that is contained within the XML to determine how to parse the library data?
Totally understand I'm an edge case, just a bit frustrating since the app supports older versions of macOS and can presumably parse an iTunes library XML.
