Have you tried using the sync/import options for the provider? |

It is still taking upwards of 3 minutes to play a playlist. |

You are 100% correct. This is why I asked to just add only the songs listed in the playlist. In that menagerie of songs, there are plenty that I do not want in Music Assistant. They include the FLAC files, the Podcasts, and all other media files that iTunes likes to hang onto. Again, how do I simply add the playlist, or how do I let MA know to ignore directory depth, or directories, or file extensions? Any of these would help to ferret out the unwanted "not tagged correctly" songs. I've gone through the documentation and was unable to find a documented solution to keep MA from importing songs that I will never want to be scanned, and unfortunately, must be in the scanned directory (assuming I'm forced to scan all directories and not just the M3U folder). I've tried just adding the M3U folder, and nothing gets imported into MA. Thank you for any helpful suggestions. |

So, if the settings are as shown in the screenshot, MA will import files that are not listed in the M3U files? |

1: Can I just add the playlist folder?
The music files are in the root folder while the playlists are in a subfolder.
/music/80's/(has the album folders)
/music/M3U/(contains the playlists)
The playlists have relative paths and work just fine.
Assuming the above is not possible.
2: How do you stop it from scanning specific file extensions?
3: How do you stop it from scanning specific folders, but still use those folders in playlists?
Tried adding _ in front of unwanted scanned folders ( like this /music/80s/Artist [Album] year/_FLAC ), but this has proven to be a nightmare. The root folder is used for iTunes and recreating that would be cumbersome at best.
Would be preferable to just add playlist files and have it scan only the files listed in those playlists.
In case:
Have a "large" ( it is all relative ) music collection and keep the original FLAC files in a subfolder inside the album folder. The FLAC files are not tagged correctly and add unwanted data into the database. Only listen to playlists; The entire album is in a single folder, and I will (probably) never listen to all the songs in that directory. Again, this adds unwanted data into the database.
Thanks for any viable suggestions.
