UPDATED: Playlist XML Librarian v1.2

This applet will list the exported Playlist XML files collected in a specified folder with options to view, search and send (import) them to the Music app. Makes it easy to maintain an organized stockpile of exported Playlist XMLs to reduce the number of onboard Music playlists.

Also see Playlist XML Viewer which displays a single selected Playlist XML drag-and-dropped or chosen from any location.

This app is free to try in mostly full-featured Demo Mode. While in Demo Mode, only up to 3 playlists can be sent to Music per launch. If you like it you can purchase a code for $2.99 which will unlock the Demo Mode limitations. Launch the app and click "Register..." in its File menu to make an in-app purchase.

Latest version:

  • Increased efficiency of XML parser
  • Files in source list display appropriate playlist icon
  • Added command to export just the "Smart Criteria" of a Smart playlist to an XML file
  • v1.1 (dec 3 2025):
  • Adds "Delete" command
  • Added Expand/Collapse buttons for source list
  • Adds setting to expand all folders at launch
  • Better detection of loaded playlists
  • Fixed problem with progress bar traveling
  • Fixed issue with correct Total Time calculation
  • Fixed some autoresizing issues
