    Repaired system-Backup from clone or old before replacing?

    I had a consistency error on my system drive which neither Drive Genius nor Disk Utility could fix.

    Automatically Add to iTunes / Not Added (via XLD)

    Using the latest version of XLD (forced to update since the 2014 version wouldn't play with High Sierra), occasionally a file or two or an entire album will not get added to iTunes despite my settings. Anyone else come across this? Is it a bug in XLD, iTunes, or High Sierra? Any fixes?
