Issue with importing smarlists

Software Rekordbox
1

Hey!
I’ve been using Lexicon for a long time and really like it.
I’m encountering an issue regarding importing smarlists to RB.
I had them already in RB, I did a full sync and disabled the smarlists as playlist and made sure that they are only contain all tags or none of tags rules, but it still imports them to RB as playlists

I’m using a mac with RB 6.8.5

Moreover, it’s a general question
based on the fact that I’m removing duplicates, should I delete my entire collection before importing all tracks from the rekordbox XML? because it still keeps the duplicates

Only the Has all these tags and Has none of these tags rules work for RB smartlists, did you use exactly those? And no OR combinations?

If you use XML, smartlists are not supported at all (the RB XML just doesn’t support them) so they would always be turned into playlists.

Also XML does not support deleting tracks from RB, so you would always end up with old references.

Can you use the RB Direct method? It solves all the problems. After removing duplicates, you should do a Full Sync so old tracks are deleted from RB.
