    Since this seems to be a completely different topic, I've moved this to a new discussion.

    For some reason I cant find some songs there.

    I'm not sure I understand. What songs can you not find?

    also it didnt really work,

    Perhaps something went wrong when you manually edited the file? What does your preferences2.xml look like now?

    Ive changed the location of the songs and the playlist got empty again

    Is the second root folder also in an NTFS file system? Or is it on some other hard drive?

    about the third, its an external hard drive
    about the second, added the preferences2 file,
    and regarding the missing songs, i simply cant find some songs in my file
    system, try relocating them, and they disapeard

    Thanks for the file. It looks fine to me.

    It does not really matter whether the hard drive is external or internal. But it matters what file system has been used. You can find out, following the advice on this website: https://www.howtogeek.com/681125/how-to-see-a-drives-file-system-on...

    The whole renaming and beaTunes still finding songs is only supported on APFS and NTFS, but not on FAT, ExFAT, SMB or the like.

    Hey the file system of the hrd drive is NTFS, but still doesnt work.

    also, made my first set using the software few days ago, but couldnt find a
    way to export the fles of a playlist to a foder (like the file themself,
    not an xml)

    Weird. Can you please synchronize again and then upload a fresh set of logs? I'd like to see what beaTunes logs about it.

    beaTunes exports only playlists. If you want to create copies of your music files (e.g. all files in a playlist), you have to do that yourself or ask some other tool to do it.
