SIMPLE way to EXPORT MEDIAMONKEY DATABASE to ITUNES

Post by groovekanzler »

Hi everyone,

is there a simple way to export MM-database and playlists to itunes?

The following would be crucial concerning database export:
-maintain date added
-maintain playcount
-maintain rating (if possible)

For playlist, I am hoping a simple M3U should work.

How can that be done? All I found so far is old posts with scripts that are no longer working/supported.

Many thanx
Peke

Ok, let me rephrase then:

Is there ANY way to do it?

I am thinking along the lines of installing older version of iTunes, when the datebase was still based on XML-format.

Hi,
Not sure if install older would help, I do not use iTunes.

OK, how about this:

How can I get the current MMW-database (4.1.20.1864) into a format that MMW 4.07.1511 can read?

Hi,
4.0.7 should be able to read 4.1.21 Library, well at least for export feature. But I'm not sure why you need 4.0.7?

Reason being so I can use this (http://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/brows ... or-itunes/) plugin that is not being supported with further versions.

What do you mean by "at least for the export feature". "Should be able..." does not sound overly confident ;-) Has the database format changed? Do I have other options to downgrade to MMW 4.0.7?

Hi,
Looks like it can be made to work with newer versions http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... 63#p394963

EDIT: Should be as DB format has not changed a lot that it would not, but due the other improvements in 4.1 I'm not sure it is worth. Try it as portable install.

Also when MM5 gets released for mac (not as soon as you would expect) it would be much easier to make plugins like these.

Well, I read that entire thread. Last successful entry stated "I tested it with iTunes 11.1.3.8 and MM 4.07.1511 - works perfect!

THANK YOU!"

after 4.0.7 people started having issues...

that is my reason for asking....
