Hey,
If you cannot see any playlists at all, perhaps your turned off the sidebar. To turn it back on, please use the menu
View
->Show Sidebar
.If you're just unable to see your iTunes playlists, perhaps you have chosen to use a folder-based library? You can check in the beaTunes general preferences. For more details, please see https://blog.beatunes.com/2015/01/different-libraries-for-different...
If this does not help, please send your logs. You can do so via the beaTunes'
Help
menu. Just chooseUpload Logs
.Thanks!

Hey Alvaro,
are you using an iTunes- or a folder-based library? Please see https://blog.beatunes.com/2015/01/different-libraries-for-different... for details.

Hi Hendrik,
Thanks for your quick answer. I have my music files in an external drive (folder based library). There must be something wrong with the Library.xml, and I have quite big library. I read the article you sent , what do you suggest to do first ?.

iTunes playlists are only shown in beaTunes for iTunes-based libraries.
Create an iTunes-based collection in beaTunes.

Can I do that wven if the music library is in an external disk ?

Where the audio files are located does not matter. If you are using iTunes on Windows or older version of macOS, you just need to locate the Library.xml file. Typically that is not on the external disk.

Please send a screenshot of the About window. That's the one you see when you click on the application menu (beaTunes5) and then
About beaTunes5
.Can you also please upload your logs? You can do so from within the app via Help -> Upload Logs.
Thank you.

Thanks for the screenshot.
The logs didn't arrive for some reason. In beaTunes, did you open the
Help
menu and then selectUpload Logs
from that menu?14 Posted by Alvaro Perez on 09 Feb, 2021 02:18 PM
Apologies Hendrik, here it goes…
Support Staff 15 Posted by hendrik on 09 Feb, 2021 02:23 PM

I was asking for you to open the
Help
menu in beaTunes5 and then selectUpload Logs
from that menu.Thanks.

I just did it and received this answer.

Thank you.
May I ask what kind of hardware you are using (model, CPU, disk, ...)? I'm wondering, because you still run OS X 10.11.
You might want to try to run
Tools
->Repair Database
. Perhaps that speeds things up a little.Support Staff 18 Posted by hendrik on 10 Mar, 2021 01:15 PM
Hi,
did repairing the database help?
Is this issue resolved?
Cheers,
