Sync Manager Issue with Nested Playlists in Apple Music (iTunes) (Export Mode)
Hello everyone
System Information:
- MacOS Monterey
- Apple Music (iTunes)
- Rekordbox 6.8.5
- Empty collection, new
I'm experiencing an issue with the Sync Manager when using iTunes in Export Mode. The Loading Method is set to Framework.
The problem:
-
My collection is empty in Rekordbox.
-
In iTunes, I have four genre-based playlists inside a playlist folder:
ALL GENRES
- Hip-Hop ALL
- Reggaeton ALL
- Latin ALL
- R&B ALL
-
When I try to sync only the Latin ALL playlist (which contains 631 tracks), the loading bar in Rekordbox shows x/4560 tracks being imported.
-
This indicates that my entire iTunes library is being imported instead of just the selected playlist.
Interestingly, if I change the Loading Method to iTunes Library XML (exported manually from Apple Music), everything works as expected, and only the selected playlist is imported.
I know that iTunes is no longer a recommended method, but I would still like to use it.
Is there any way to resolve this issue while keeping the Framework loading method?
Thanks!
