HDX and iTunes Playlists (Mac) Supplement

Now compare that path to the path the HDX uses to the same song. This will help you fill
in the PC-style UNC pathname to map to the same folder on the Mac. To view the path
names the HDX uses, open up the web interface when the HDX is playing the same song,
then click on the field next the

Location

that says

Click here for file location

. This will display

something like this:

\\SERVER\username\Music\Artist\Album\Song.mp3

Now you’re armed with the information you need to get things set up. The first step is
choosing the folder on your Mac. In this case, choose the Music folder under Macintosh
HD:Users:username. Next, you would enter \\SERVER\username\Music for the path that the
HDX uses to access that same folder.

Note:

The information for the SERVER can be found in OS X under system preferences -> sharing

in the field: Computer Name

If you had multiple shares in Samba, or more than one mounted network drive, then you
might need more mappings. If you need help, feel free to contact support@naimaudio.

How To Use It

After you have done the setup, the following screen snapshots show how to use the script.
When you open iTunes, you will notice an AppleScript icon on the top right bar (near the
time indicator). Select a playlist from the “Source” area on the left side of the screen. When
you pull-down on the AppleScript icon, you should see the script (as you have named it) in
the menu.

You then need to select and double click the file called

Export Playlist to M3U

in the folder

that opens.
