How to sync playlists in Home Sharing?

Howdy.  How do I sync playlists in Home Sharing?  I have my Mac Mini as my "Master Jukebox".  It's the main place where purchases and playlists are created.  The problem I have is that I cannot find a way to conveniently sync playlists from "Master Jukebox" to, say, my MBP.  If I am on my MBP and drag a "Master Jukebox" playlist to my MBP, it makes duplicate copies of the files in my MBP library.
What's the proper way to do this?

Interesting question!
I have the same problem. As a music-lover & DJ, I have a huge collection of songs (mostly ripped from CD's and vinyls) I would like to share around the home network.
I use a PC with my main library and nicely ordened playlists. I allready was able to share the music with my Macbook Pro through Home Sharing, but as the playlists are nicely ordened, I would like to sync them to!
I also use Traktor Scratch Pro for performing...
Is there a way to do this?
If this works, I also can sync the whole library (including the playlists) to a Mac Mini I use as media server in the livingroom...

  • Copying playlist through Home sharing or through any mean

    I have a new pc and I'm trying to copy my playlist from the old machine to the new one. I copied all of the music using Home Sharing but it seems you cannot copy a playlist through home sharing.
    1. Does anyone know how to copy playlists using Home Sharing or
    2. Does anyone know any other method of copying playlists from my old machine to the new?

    There is no such thing  as "home sharing sync".
    iOS devices can be synced via the cable or if running iOS5 or later via Wi-Fi.
    iPods (nano's, classics) must be synced via the cable.

  • How often does the Apple TV sync with updated home sharing playlists?

    I am trying to use several Apple TV's at my business for content management throughout our campus.  I want to be able to have a playlist of pictures and videos that is easy to update.  Can anyone tell me how often the Apple TV syncs with the home sharing network for an updated playlist?  It would be very inconvenient if the only way was to do a reboot on every device each time content was updated.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    I can't really say for sure how often the Apple TV updates its shared libraries.
    I do however know that once the Apple TV as completed playing something, it will sync with the shared library in order to update the play count. So I'd be reasonably sure that the shared library is updated at least once every time something is played.

  • How do I import a playlist on home sharing?  I get the songs, but not packaged in the playlist from which it was imported.

    How do I import a playlist on home sharing?  I get the songs, but not packaged in the playlist from which they were imported. Now I have duplicate songs in my music library.

    You can't import media from one Home Sharing library to another by any other means except selecting the individual items you want to import. For example, you can't select a playlist and then click on the 'Import' button to import all the items in that playlist. You have to select all the items in the playlist before you can click on the 'Import' button. By extension, the playlist on the other Home Sharing computer will not be re-created on your computer. You can select more than one item using the 'Shift' or 'Command' keys.
    What you can do is create a playlist on your computer first, with the same name if you want, and then use drag and drop to copy the media from the remote playlist to your playlist. Note that the playlist on your computer cannot be a 'Smart' playlist it must be a regular playlist for drag and drop copying to work.
    Regarding 'Smart' playlists. If you create a 'Smart' playlist on your computer that uses the exact same filtres as the ones on the remote library when you import the media from the remote library they will show up in the same 'Smart' playlist on your computer.

    How to import a playlist in Home Sharing From Computer to computer and other devices?

    No need to "import". Just find the photo in iPhoto (i.e. within the application), click it once so it's highlighted with a blue outline, then select Edit menu > Copy (or just ⌘-C). Go to Address Book, select the contact, click the Edit button at the bottom, click once on the blank photo icon so it's highlighted with a blue outline, then select Edit menu > Paste (or just ⌘-V).
    FYI, the original iPhoto images are stored as individual files, in ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/subfolders.
    Hope this helps...

  • Can I import a playlist over home sharing?

    I have my main music collection on my iMac running iTunes 12.  It includes some playlists I would like to have in an older Macbook Pro, running iTunes 11.4.  I have my Home Sharing turned on, and can import the items in the playlist, but have not figured out how to get the playlist itself.
    Is there an easy way to share a playlist within Home Sharing?

    Hello Burn16
    You should be able to, but if it is not working you can export your playlist and copy the file over and import the playlist that way.

    How do i turn off home sharing and transfer my ITunes library to another computer?

    Your music will only be where you put it.  You can download the itunes program and sign into your account on any computer, but your music/content will not be there unless you put it there.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod.  File>Transfer Purchases

    I have an old computer that died, how do I turn off home sharing on that computer so that I can gain back 1 of my 5 shares for my new computer?

    As far as I know you don't need to turn off home sharing as such, however you will have lost one of the 5 "authorizations". You can't release these individually unless you are running iTunes on the authorized operating system you want to deauthorize.
    You will have to wait until you have 5 authorizations, at which point you can clear them all and start over, reauthorizing the machines you want to.
