    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?

    Question about APFS on a freshly converted drive

    tl;dr Disk Utility info on my main disk says 'Bootable: No'. Is that a problem? Is it a problem I can fix? So I upgraded my Mac Mini to a 1TB SSD, like so many people do. Because the Mini was basically dead when I did the upgrade (the fusion drive had been slowly failing for weeks), the only...
