CDpedia 7 not longer able to "Import Playlist from Music..."

Post by JimB »

Back on 11/1/24 I updated my Intel Mac from macOS 14 directly to macOS 15.1 and CDpedia 7 was able to display its database of music that I had brought in from my collection in Apple Music. I love using CDpedia to have a fast, easy-to-access, display, and search, listing of my music in Apple Music. However, after 11/1/24 and macOS 15.1, using CDpedia's "Import Playlist from Music..." command no longer could connect to Apple Music. I can click on songs in CDpedia and they will play in Apple Music, and "Refresh Apple Music Tracks" still seems to connect to Apple Music (but of course does not bring in new music listings from Apple Music). My CDpedia database is therefore static and is 6 months old.

Any ideas? I am using the latest CDpedia 7 beta and am currently on macOS 15.3.2.

Hi and welcome to these wondrous forums concerning all things Bruji Pedia's. Please take a moment to read the "Sticky Lightbulb💡" Topics at the top of PediaTalk Subforum you will find all manner of interesting Hints and Help.

Now I can verify that CDpedia ability to: "Import Playlist from Music..." is not working. Thanks for pointing this out.

Though I don’t use CDpedia myself per se, I do use it to help others with their forum inquiries.

Since I upgraded to Sequoia 15.3.2 on my new Mac mini M4 in December 2024, I did not install CDpedia version 7 Beta 312 nor did I copy over the existing trial database. So for your query I have done so, and I can verify it does not “Import Playlist from Music”. I have a totally empty CDpedia database.

Now, I have had I thought. I keep my Music on an external HD, along with all the rest of my media; photos, movies etc: '/Volumes/Media/Music Library/Music Library.musiclibrary

So, I am presuming that CDpedia only looks in the macOS Music default location ??

Is your music library in a different location to the macOS Music default location ??

I have sent Conor an email concerning this Topic. So we wait and see what the outcome is.

My Music file is in the macOS Music default location, so something else is wrong.

Thanks for sending this report to Conor. I've got my fingers crossed...

And I just updated to macOS 15.4, and the "import Playlist from Music..." command in CDpedia still does not return a list of Playlists from Apple Music like it used to.
