Good day,

I have over the time, created around 3 different iTunes libraries and also have some in backups. I was wondering if there was any way to combine them into 1 master instead of having multiple and not lose playlists within the libraries.

Anyone has done this before and has any tips?

Thank you!

How big are the playlists? I don't have much iTunes / Apple Music knowledge, but some solutions that come to mind:

1. Googling for "export playlist list Apple Music." Exporting all of the music libraries into a raw music file folder and importing that into a new master library. Attempting to import the playlists.
2. How big are the playlists? If not massive, biting the bullet and screenshotting the existing playlists and biting the bullet and recreating them once.

True, I could screenshot them :)
There are around 100 playlist per library. They aren't "Apple Music" playlist but imported CD's and iTunes purchased.

I might give it a try by importing the music into the "master" library and see how it goes... (with a little backup before ;))
Thanks!
