Problem with importing playlist from a pendrvie
So in the previous versions of Rekordbox, when I was importing a playlist from a pendrive to my Rekordbox library, it was always asking me whether I want to import just a playlist or upload all the track files. Now it doesn't ask the questions and only adds the library? how can I be able to uplad the whole playlists with tracks?
Many thanks

Unfortunately, "Import Playlist" from Device doesn't have an option to copy the music files if original tracks exist in the Collection with recent versions.
When a track is exported to Device, the track in the Device will be associated to the source track in the Collection.
So, basically, our expected workflow is:
1.Export a track to Device.
2.Edit information of track on the Device.
3.Update information of the Collection track with the information of the Device track by "Update Collection"
Before, rekordbox 6.8.1, "Import Playlist" from Device had another option to copy the music file as a new track even though the source track existed in the Collection.
However, this flexibility caused complicated behavior of "Import Playlist" from Device.
Therefore many users reported an issue, tracks have been duplicated unexpectedly by "Import Playlist" from Device.
So we decided to change the behavior of "Import Playlist" from Device.
From rekordbox 6.8.1, only "Update Collection" is available if original track exists in the Collection when "Import Playlist" from Device.
Thank you for your understanding.
