Tying to import iTunes playlists. Cannot set Roon to watch the iTunes library because Roon does not give the browse option need to select the iTunes folder. Sure I’m doing something wrong!

Hi,

Hopefully these threads will help?

Apple Music (i.e., iTunes) playlist paths differ from Roon's paths

Hello @phantomtides , Thank you for your patience here while we’ve had a chance to look into this further. I spoke to the team regarding this one and we believe the main issue here is that the Library.XML file is missing and instead you have a different XML file imported. Can you please try to Open Music App → File → Export Library and put this XML in the Watched folder MAINSTREAM ? This file contains info about iTunes playlists and the path to files in the library. Then XML playlists import…

Exporting Apple Music playlists to Roon

Can anyone tell me how to export playlists to and keep them in sync with Roon from Apple Music, the successor to iTunes? I was used to manually exporting the XML file in iTunes. Roon recognized that and synchronized all playlists. In the Music app there is now only a Music Library file; “Music Library.musiclibrary”. I’m running Roon on macOS Monterey version 12.0.1, MacBook Air, M1.

Good luck!

Thanks for coming back. These two threads are related to my issue but only tangentially. I want to point Roon at my iTunes folder contaning the XML file but cannot do so. Roon gives me a prescribed folder list to choose from, and the iTunes folder is not on that list. I can find no way of browsing the computer from within Roon to select the iTunes folder.

Problem solved - bad case of user incompetence!!

We’ve all been that user.

Good to hear you solved it!

How did you solve it? I’m having a similar problem where Roon doesn’t allow me to browse to my Library XML.

Embarrassing, really. The list you see initially is not the whole thing - scroll down and the continuation looks more like a standard explorer list of folders. Your iTunes folder will be in there somewhere.
