Hi everybody I decided to switch to PLEX when it comes to media - I love it. I have one crucial thing which I did not figure out so far: I have now \> 10k songs on PLEX of which almost 5k are rated. As I figured, PLEX does not read/import all meta information (although properly set-up agents). Never mind. I can create playlists according to the ratings in my old player, import it in PLEX and mass-rate the songs in the respective playlist. This is how I would do it… Yet, I did not figure out yet how to import a playlist in PLEX. My search on the internet revealed nothing that would cover my problem. Any ideas? Thank you in advance ---

The only playlist import capability in Plex is importing from iTunes when creating a library. [https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/204892678-Creating-a-Premium-Music-Library](https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/204892678-Creating-a-Premium-Music-Library) ---

Thanks for the quick reply. Any chance that there will exist such an option (or read all metadata on the files) any time soon? It was a lot of work rating +5k songs… ---

There’s always a chance, but Plex doesn’t discuss their roadmap, so we may not know until it happens. There is a [feature request](https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/117633/option-to-use-existing-m3u-for-playlist-feature "feature request") for importing playlists via .m3u files.

Thanks for the info! Yet, ☹ sad that in my opinion such a basic feature is missing. ---

Playlists are a relatively new feature, only added last year. I think we can expect improvements. ---
