Home sharing on iOS may not display some libraries
Authored by: scottbayes on Mar 12, '11 05:56:20AM
From the kb article: "If you delete the file, iTunes creates a new, empty copy when you open the application, but any playlists, song ratings, comments, or other information you created will be lost."
Without running the experiment—my other computer is down (an iMac 27" literally lying on its face on a bed here in Tokyo so a quake doesn't send it crashing to the floor; it survived the first round but the screen was rotated as far down as it could rotate after the quake, indicating a rough ride) till the Japan earthquake crisis is mostly over and we don't need to conserve power, so I am reluctant to experiment now—I note that the .xml file used as source in the Import Playlists Step 8 does contain at least one of my playlists and at least one comment (too many to verify they're all there), which leads me to believe that Step 8 will restore all the stuff I care about, though it may miss some corners and possibly some stuff others value. I just hope it indeed inserts a new library ID in the process, because I see the original ID there in the .xml.
