iTunes not seeing all tracks on my playlist
Hi i recently had a mid-DJ crisis and had to move my playlists out of Pioneer's Rekordbox back into iTunes after converting my entire music collection to FLAC from AIFF (AIFF was giving me grief holding onto the meta data i'd added, and i lost months tagging as a result).
My method for doing so is a bit dirty but i can't see why it shouldn't work.
- In Rekordbox i exported each playlist as .m3u8
- Open each playlist and did Find/Replace on .aiff to .flac
- Replaced all music files with their FLAC versions in the exact same file location within explorer
- Drag and dropped playlists into iTunes
The Result
Although i can copy/paste any flac file path into "Run" on windows and the correct track does play, iTunes fails to list all .flac tracks in the playlists though it has no problem listing or playing any mp3's in the playlist. It just misses out all my flacs even though i can see them with the correct filepath in .m3u8 file when editing with with Notepad++
If anyone has any ideas why iTunes can't see/ list the track i'd be eternally grateful.
Thanks
