Exporting playlists from 3.5.50 (macos) to Eversolo

[mikeypas]

Hello,
Wondering what the best approach would be to export playlists from Audirvana 3.5.50 on macos to my eversolo dmp-a8?

On the macmini, I have an external HD connected with the music files located there. On the eversolo, I have my music files on an attached SSD. The directory tree is mostly the same, but not exactly.

Macmini: /Volumes/Mac Mini External HD/DSD Music Library/
Eversolo: not sure how the directory structure works, what to include.
It’s dmp_samba → share → FEC7-350F → DSD Music Library

the subfolders are all the same after that.
If I export the playlists from Audirvana, the m3u points to the files on the external HDD. How can I change them for the files on the SSD attached to the eversolo?

I’m guessing I can do a find | replace function to change it all, but just not sure what to put

Thanks for any guidance!

Hi @mikeypas,

When you do the export with the relative path option activated, does it work better?

[mikeypas]

I just re-exported everything with relative paths and imported them into Eversolo.

While it does seem to play from the SSD , the playlists don’t seem to be correct.

This previously occurred when exporting playlists from Audirvāna, and then later adding them back to Audirvāna. Songs in the playlist were changed, songs were repeated.

Not sure I pinpointed the issue, but I have a suspicion it has to do with tracks in .iso files not being imported correctly from the m3u playlists.

So in a sense, the results in getting in Eversolo seems to be consistent with what happened in Audirvāna. (I had a previous post about it on these forums).

[Antoine]

So the issue is only with ISO tracks?

[mikeypas]

Allo Antoine!

Sorry for the delay in responding.
I can’t quite seem to pinpoint where the problem is. It does not seem to be limited to ISO like I originally thought. FLAC files are being substituted by other files, and tracks are repeating themselves.

For troubleshooting purposes, I installed a copy of Audirvana on a different computer, and exported the playlist from one Audirvana, and imported to the new one. We can see how the playlist isn’t the same (both libraries are synching with the same folder on the same HDD).

I have included example of playlist #1 original and re-imported, and playlist #2 original and re-imported to show how it gets changed! So obviously when importing to Eversolo, the incorrect songs are also being imported. Relative paths doesn’t seem to correct the issue.

Hi @mikeypas, can you please try with Audirvāna Studio instead?

[mikeypas]

I’m afraid my trial expired a while back! I’m still on macos 12.7.6

[Antoine]

I gave you a trial extension on the email you use to log in to the forum.

[mikeypas]

Thank you Antoine! I filled out the form to get a download link, but never received the email.
I’ll be on vacation for the next 2 weeks, hopefully the trial will start when it’s downloaded/installed, so will be able to troubleshoot!

Hi Antoine!
Thank you for your continued help.
So the playlists I exported from Audirvana 3.5.50 don’t import correctly into Audirvana Studio (2.11.0) either. (same kind of behaviour when importing them into eversolo streamer)
I’ve attached the screenshots from 3.5.50 (which display correctly), and studio (which are incorrect, same as the eversolo). I also am including the text of the .m3u

So not sure where the problem is, 3.5.50 exporting incorrectly to the .m3u file? Or studio and eversolo not importing correctly?

It seems to be related to ISO files. I have been able to reproduce the issue, will look at this with Damien.

[mikeypas]

Thank you!
But doesn’t seem limited to ISO files. If you look at the flac files on the playlist (imported) then you can see repeats too. On the original, all the tracks are different.

[Antoine]

@mikeypas, can you please tell me if the tracks you have the issue with are using ISO or Cue sheet?

[mikeypas]

I try not to use .cue as much as possible, I seem to get a lot of duplicate albums when theres .cue and .flac files.
The issue seems to stem from individual flac files and ISO.

It becomes very problematic because for some reason, some albums simply don’t import into Audirvana. The only way it seems to work is by deleting the volume, and rescanning it. The problem is that is also deletes all the playlists, and since I can’t export/re-import playlists, I’m stuck.

There was an album I was trying to import all in .wav
Audirvana wouldn’t recognize this album. I converted the wav to flac, still didn’t work.
Audirvana on a separate computer recognized album.
So the issue seems to be with the Audirvana that I use connected to my audio system.

I don’t mind removing and re-adding the folder with all my music, but the issue is that each time I lose all my playlists, and re-importing them changes all the tracks inside

You can create a backup of them and restore them:
