Thanks. 

 

Clicked on it and only saw my DAC selected, didn't see that there was more to do.

 

Noticed that Damien now recommends SOX...haven't spent much time monkeying with those settings.  Can anyone suggest good settings for a Maytek B+?

 

Thanks again bnbayer.

 

I have a Schiit multibit dac with Izotope settings and would also like SOX setting recommendations... or just Izotope as an option in 3.5.x

My settings for 3.2.x were: 

Steepness: 132

Filter Max: 500,000

Cutoff 1.00

Antialiasing 200

Pre-ringing 0.75

Forced upsamling: None

 

Thanks!

I came back to 3.5.x. The sound is really great. Thanks Damien!

I have tried importing the playlist again, but that function doesn't seem to work: nothing happens after I select the playlist I want to import. It just doesn't show up.

 

I am trying to import playlists into 3.5.18. I have versions of the playlists in both m3u8 and m3u formats, but like bnbayer, nothing happens when I try the import function. Does anyone have a solution?

I just deleted my database after exporting all the playlists to get rid of A+ showing duplicates of a bunch of files. The duplication is now gone, but now I have this playlist issue.

... if someone could tell me whether the import function mentioned in the last post is/isn't working for them, that'd let me know if the issue is with the software or my system. Thanks

Note that the playlists I was trying to import were from Audirvana 3.2 (not from iTunes). The Smart Playlists are fine, but the not the regular ones. Still don't import with 3.5.18

Thanks for the follow up! The m3u8 files were old versions that were indeed from iTunes, but the m3u files were actually from Audirvana - I exported from 3.5.1.8, deleted the library files, then tried reimporting to the same 3.5.1.8 version of Audirvana. No dice with the playlist whether it was exported from iTunes or Audirvana. Import had worked last summer (July 2018) when the iTunes files were generated with what was then the current version of Audirvana

HI Damien,

I've been hoping someone on the board would have some advice. The situation's in limbo now so could you can tell me if this is a known issue and a fix is in your plans or if those of us with the issue should get started with rebuilding our playlists.

 

Thanks!

I have raised this "Importing Playlist" issue since the first release of Audirvana 3.5. Tried to get Damien attention in this site, in audirvana site and also with direct email to audirvana. I don't understand why it is still not fixed yet... It is ridiculous and big disappointment that the basic function of audio player is missing on this such popular player... 

Thanks for letting us know about your experience with this. Strange that questions about this pretty basic function aren't acknowledged while just about everything else gets a pretty speedy response.

I just downloaded 3.5.19 and created a playlist then exported, deleted, and reimported it. It worked. I still can't import the playlists made with 3.5.18 though so I guess I'm stuck spending a couple of hours rebuilding playlists.

I have been able to import old playlists by adding “.m3u8” to the file name - but may work using “.m3u” too? (I never used iTunes). 

 

I had spent some time making new playlists in 3.5, before finding this trick... 

Hope that helps others. 

Thanks for the suggestion Odelay. I didn't have much luck. 3.5.19 will import  playlists now - either m3u or m3u8, but only a handful of songs. For instance only 4 of 162 songs in one playlist were imported. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to what it chooses to import - there were several songs from the same album with the metadata done in the same way on the same date, but it only imports one song. ITunes has no problem importing either m3u or m3u8 playlists.

To boot, A+ has started displaying phantom duplicates of songs again (ie the songs appear in duplicate in Audirvana, but not on my hard drive). The whole reason I deleted my playlists in the first place was to create a fresh library and rid it of duplicates. 

Love A+, but not loving dealing with these aspects over the last year.

Thanks for this playlist import fix in 3.5.24 and more kudos for the ios app!
