communicates any changes to iTunes. If it didn't do that, you
wouldn't see any changes in iTunes until you actually played a song
in iTunes (there wouldn't be a way for iTunes to know that
something changed).</p>
<p>If you don't care about that, you can create a <em>directory
based library</em> (beaTunes -> general preferences -> plus
button under music library). Such a library does not needs iTunes,
but it also does not update iTunes.</p></div>hendriktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/96527942011-11-04T17:03:09Z2011-11-04T17:03:09ZHow do I run beaTunes without iTunes launching<div><p>I upgraded to Ver 3.08 and decided to link to my music folder
library rather than the iTunes file because I've had some problems
w/ iTunes and recently had to recreate the entire library after the
XML got corrupt.</p>
<p>In doing so, my laptop runs faster when I only have beaTunes
open by itself. The problem I now realize is, when creating a new
Matchlist, it doenst show up in iTunes automatically and the only
options are to Export the list. So, how am I supposed to get a
Matchlist into iTunes?</p></div>cajphototag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/96527942011-11-04T17:17:30Z2011-11-04T17:17:30ZHow do I run beaTunes without iTunes launching<div><p>Hi,</p>
<p>you should be able to export the playlist (right click on the
playlist in beaTunes) in the <code>m3u8</code> format and open that
with iTunes (again, right click, open with).</p>
