When I try to import a m3u playlist into iTunes using File/Library/Import Playlist, the playlist is imported but his empty. It seems to be related to the update to 10.4. Does anybody know if there's an issue with this? Is Apple working on a fix?

Itunes 10.5 fixed this bug....now we are all happy like a dog with 7 d....
hmm. Its working perfectly for me (Win7) - at last!
Not in Windows XP SP3...
XP SP3 not working in 10.5.
It's a shame for apple not fixing this issue.
At the moment I make two playlist. One for winamp and one for iTunes.
Also Mediamonkey doesn't work together with iTunes 10.5.
M3U import appears to be fixed in iTunes 10.5 as far as I can see, but anyone still having problems under Windows can try my script ImportM3U.

Thanks for your scripts. It seems that there will be a lot of usefull tools.
But sorry, your script doesn't work on my Vista notebook. **** Vista.
I will give it a try later on my desktop with XP.
Bah! Vista is like the thing one does with boiled sweets. Turning off UAC would probably fix it. I'll test it out on a Windows 7 box at some point later...

Strike!
You made it.
Works like a charm, even in BAH Vista.

so if i do that, itunes will be able to properly do the import?
Bingo! That worked perfectly. Thanks for the tutorial!
Yes. Previous posts in this thread describe this in more detail.
In an emergency situation, VLC software can be used to import the m3u.
This will not get the playlist into itunes, but you can see the playlist order and use it to rebuild the playlist in itunes.
I cannot import m3u playlists
