HDX and iTunes Playlists (Mac) Supplement

If you have a more complex network setup requiring multiple mappings, click

Yes

and you

will be prompted to choose another folder on your Mac. Most of the time, there will only
be one mapping, in which case you may click

No

. At the next prompt you will be asked to

choose whether or not you want shuffle indication while the script is running.

If you export long playlists, then having some sort of indication that the script is doing
something may be important to you, so select

Yes

. Selecting Yes does however have the

side effect of turning on fixed indexing so that the output order in the file may not match
the displayed order because it uses the original order in which the songs were added to
the playlist. If output order is important to you, then select

No

. When you have chosen an

option you will be prompted to save the settings to a file.

After the settings file has been saved, the following dialogue is displayed. The settings file
can be used when future versions of the script are released so that you don’t have to go
through the wizard setup process next time.

3 An Example

Following is a setup example that provides a detailed illustration of mapping a single
directory used for iTunes and shared via Samba.

The folder chosen on the Mac is at the highest level shared with the HDX. The full path
to files in iTunes can be seen by clicking on a song and selecting

File > Get Info

. It will be

something like this:

Macintosh HD:Users:username:Music:Artist:Album:Song.mp3
