    Default Mezzmo does not update from Itunes

    I regularly add files and folders and playlists to Itunes and I had set Mezzmo to auto-update.

    Yet, new playlists and folders do not appear, unless I delete Itunes in Mezzmo and re-add Itunes, which is rather time-consuming, considering I have 24000 tracks and 300 GB of music alone.

    What am I missing?

    Did you add the iTunes playlist as an external playlist (linked playlist)? If you did, then you can maintain that playlist and it'll update files in Mezzmo, it will also update when you browse it.

    Actually, to add my itunes to Mezzmo, I clicked

    Add to library

    then

    Add iTunes Library

    Was that incorrect?

    Sorry, what you're doing is correct, I was thinking of something else. So, can you right-click on the iTunes folder and do a Maintain Playlist on that and see if that works?

    That did work, thanks,

    I have another question, which I'm happy to post in a separate thread if necessary.

    Inside my playlists, all tracks show up alphabetically and they play in that order. How do I listen to an album or all tracks by a certain artist?

    Actually, I have to take back my previous statement.

    I right-clicked on Itunes and did 'Maintain Playlist', but my new play list in Itunes called Motown still does not show up in my iTunes folder in Mezzmo

    Also: in Itunes playlists, everything shows up by Album (my choice), whereas in iTunes Mezzmo, it's all alphabetical (see my post above in this thread).

    We'll investigate a new playlist not showing up and if this needs fixing we'll get it done.

    With the track sort order - at the moment you cannot specify a special sort order, unless you create a smart/active playlist in Mezzmo, but playlists imported from iTunes are just normal playlists. A future version will allow you to specify a sort order for any playlist.

    Thanks Dennis,
    With regards to the playlist:

    In Itunes, my playlists are sorted by album, but somehow that order does not get transferred into the Mezzmo import of the Itunes playlist.

    Yes, I don't think we're picking up the sorting order from iTunes, but even if we did, currently Mezzmo does not have the means to sort items in a "normal" playlist (which is what's created when you import iTunes). We'll get this implemented in a future version though.

    From this thread, it seems to indicate that by invoking Add iTunes Library > iTunes Music Library.xml, Mezzmo will update itself when iTunes updates the iTunes Music Library.xml file? Is this true and not just a one time import? I tried this and the generated artist/album playlists we jumbled and mostly empty. I ended up deleting just adding my iTunes organized media folder. If Mezzmo does in fact use the xml file to keep itself in sync, how does one undo this sync?
