![]() I'm not entirely advocating you move away from iTunes and I understand the frustration with Apple Music and iTunes Match. I'd take a look first with Museeks if your iTunes playlists(if they matter more than the MP3 tag data) can be imported fully. If you have your music ripped and could use a different musicplayer then I would give Museeks a try - if only to listen to your musik without it doing things to your Music Library. You'll then of course have to run iTunes via Rosetta2 and I'm not sure how good that is in general as I've only experiences Rosetta1 during the PPC->Intel days(which wasn't bad) Is it possible for you to continue using iTunes with the Retroactive application that I read is soon to working fully under Rosetta2 on an M1 Mac? I forget that this a new architecture completely. I wouldn't be satisfied with my comment if I was asking your question - having someone recommending alternative music players which all would have to be emulated. I want to move to the new system and be done with iTunes struck me some minutes after writing this comment that "why would anyone want to emulate a music application via Rosetta2 on a M1 Mac?" But my music library is fractured, split into iTunes and Music stuff. So I'm starting from scratch and manually copying over my music and photos. Note that I tried Migration Assistant, and it failed miserably, several times (also worked with Apple Support on this for hours, and failed). I need to transfer this stuff to the new Mac. I can't find a way to do this, and I've even called Apple Support. ![]() I also have dozens of playlists that I need to faithfully transfer. I've spent years getting the titles, artists, years and album art the way I want it. I tried and it royally screwed up my library. I do NOT (and WILL NOT) use Apple Music or iTunes Match. I'd like to simplify everything and get it all into one library, the Music library.ĩ9% of my music is ripped content - MP3s mostly. I'm guessing the iTunes stuff is all legacy stuff that's been carried forward through various system upgrades and migrations. I have an older Mac mini (2018) that has both an iTunes folder (where most of my media actually resides) and a Music folder (where a small amount of media resides). Toss out anything you know - maybe it'll be a clue that solves the problem.Just got a new Mac mini M1. I'm dead without a technical solution to this perplexing problem. I've built my meta data over 17 years to create a radio show carried by ten radio stations. xml files and meta data I've built in Swinsian? Is there another music player that will accept the. Troubleshooting or how I can get Swinsian to recognize my hard drive without losing all the playlists, play counts, "stars", and other meta data I've meticulously added to my. It's these last two sentences that aren't happening. When I reply affirmatively then Swinsian used to rebuild all the pathways between all the songs on my hard drive to the Swinsian software library. Swinsian should then ask me whether I want it to search for other missing music files in the same location. Replying affirmatively, usually brings up a Finder-like window where I "search" for the non-playing song and when it's found I can manually add the path to Swinsian and Swinsian plays the song. (It seems to quickly search the mac's internal drive and successfully finds text but gets hung up when searching the audio files of the external drive.)Īfter attempting to play a song that Swinsian should pull from my backup drive, Swinsian notifies me it can't find the song and then asks whether I want to try to locate it. Then it would get hung up and not even find a single song. With a reboot, my computer would find one more song before failing again. (I had successfully shifted to a backup drive only a few months ago so I'm sure I'm doing the transition right.) I rebooted rebuilt my spotlight index which allowed Swinsian to find one song at a time but then the computers would get hung up. Then my external hard drive with my music library failed and I couldn't get Swinsian to locate songs on my backup external drive. Ventura OS 13.0.1įirst it was Swinsian not allowing me to add songs. My original 4.5 TB music library was on a 8 TB external drive and my backups music library is on both a 14 TB and 18 TB drive that are filled to 9 TB. I'm on a Macbook Pro with an M1 chip with 490G of space and I've switched out all my connectors and have tried both of my backup external hard drives. (Yeah the original external drive died around the same time that Ventura OS was installed.) I've been trying to get swinsian to recognize my backup hard drive(s) of my 750k song music library.
