HDX and iTunes Playlists (Mac) Supplement

Introduction

This document is intended to help users in making their iTunes library playlists on an Apple
Macintosh computer available to Naim and NaimNet hard disk player and music server
products (HDX, NS01, NS02 and NS03).

iTunes playlists can be made available to an HDX only once the iTunes library itself
has been configured to be available as described in the HDX iTunes for Mac OS X
Supplement.

Note:

The procedures described in this manual are congruent with Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.7

and iTunes 8.2.1. The procedures for alternative software versions may differ slightly.

Note:

Reference to the HDX throughout this document should be taken also to include the

NaimNet NS01, NS02 and NS03 music servers.

1 Creating iTunes Scripts

Making iTunes playlists available to an HDX first requires an iTunes script to be placed in an
appropriate location on the iTunes host Mac. To do this follow the steps below.

Create a folder called

Scripts

in the Users > username > Library > iTunes folder.

Note:

The appropriate path to the Users > username > Library > iTunes folder may vary slightly

from one Mac OS to another.

Download an apple script called

Export Playlist to M3U

from:

http://mac.rbytes.net/cat/mac/audio/export-itunes-playlist-to-m3u/

Note:

You will need stuffit expander to open the download file. This can be downloaded from:

http://my.smithmicro.com/mac/stuffit/expander.html

Once the script files have been downloaded and “un-stuffed” they should be copied

into the Scripts folder just created. The image below shows the location of the script in
a user account folder. Once the script files have been placed in the correct location
the

Export Playlist to M3U

script will appear in iTunes under the

Scripts

menu.
