I had an old copy of the xml file hidden in there…
How can I get itunes to update this file when I change or add a playlist? I tried copying an alias to my itunes folder but it still won’t work. I seem to have to copy the file over each time.
Where is your .xml file?
The only way I’ve every done that before is to sync a copy of my ~/Music/iTunes to a remove device and then symlink ~/Music/iTunes to that location. That keeps the .xml file with the music.
Are you saying that if you change your music library location, the .xml file doesn’t go with it?
If so, then that’s on par with the way windows does it. The only way I’d know to fix it would be to manually (or via a script) copy the file to the remote location.
But I’d recommend the symlink thing, or mounting the remote location in ~/Music, or using the “option” trick on starting iTunes to make a full iTunes library in the remote drive.
