Server Version#: 1.26.2.5797 Player Version#: 4.76.1 I’m interested in making the transition from iTunes to Plex once and for all, and if it goes smoothly, get a lifetime Plex Pass. For that, I need to do a one-time import of all iTunes playlists, play counts, and that sort of thing. I’m having a hell of a time trying to figure it out because there seems to be a lot of conflicting documentation and support threads. So far, I have enabled the iTunes plugin in Settings \> Plugins and added the correct iTunes library path. If I understand correctly, this plugin is confusingly, separate from Settings \> Manage \> Plugins, which apparently have since been discontinued? Anyway, according to [this thread](https://forums.plex.tv/t/adding-itunes-library-to-plex/776962/19), if I click on the vertical ellipsis menu for “Playlists” and I’m lucky, there will be an option to “Import from iTunes,” but I don’t see that option. I only have an option to pin/unpin. Can anyone shed some light on this? Notably, Plex [markets itself as an iTunes replacement](https://www.plex.tv/ad/itunes-replacement/) with “Easy to import play history, ratings, and playlists from iTunes” but so far that remains to be seen… ---

The only place I know of is when creating a music library under advanced you see: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/c/b/5/cb560f38928874b47b11a9c7803624fb775e9c7c.png) ---

Very bizarre. I swear I looked there when I was poking around earlier and it wasn’t there… but when I checked just now, I do see that option. I was tinkering with the iTunes plugin settings between then and now though, so I’m not sure if that had anything to do with it. Thank you! ---

Well, that option is certainly, there, but I still can’t get iTunes import to work. I enabled the plugin, added the XML file location, and when I create a library and select the “import from iTunes” option, it imports all my music files, but none of the iTunes data or playlist with no indication of what’s missing. ---

Im also having this problem. Have tried so many things to get the playlist to show up. Its getting so frustrating. I can never get the “Import from Itunes” context menu to come up from clicking the “…” on the playlist label. ---

Ya, I gave up on this because I unfortunately was not able to get any import from iTunes to work. ---
