Q: Mirror an iTunes Playlist in Bootcamp
Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro with Bootcamp (Windows 10 / 7).
I am trying to set up iTunes to register the playlists and songs from the Mac side of the computer.
The goal is to have the same playlists and songs (I have thousands of songs which are all organized)
so that while I'm on the "Not Mac" side of my computer I can still work with my massive collection.
(This of course while only storing 1 copy of these files - stored on the Mac Side of the computer.)
A simple copy and paste of the files in the iTunes Folder manages to copy the playlist files just fine,
however, somehow a number of the songs become lost. iTunes cannot find the files,
I am stuck trying to one-by-one search for the missing files.... when you have thousands of tracks
this becomes an extremely tedious task. (It becomes even worse when you want to make changes
while on the Mac Side of the computer.)
I don't have a fancy Apple Music account, 75% of this music is NOT downloadable via iTunes
(nor would I want to degrade "apple lossless" music). Plus, as one might guess, I don't have
the assets to afford to store my entire library on the iCloud.
(The iPod Classic doesn't use the Cloud anyways. -- iOS devices are not big enough to warehouse 120GB of music.
And no, Apple, I'm never giving up on the iPod Classic. Far too valuable to my worklife.)
So, with that. Is there an easier way that anyone knows about? Is there a way to sync Mac to Bootcamp iTunes in an easier way?
Any ideas would help.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)
