Bug Description

On Mac OS X (unsure of other platforms, do not have to test), Mixxx.app imports iTunes playlists, but when it does so, it does not retain the order of the playlist as it was in iTunes.

Can not confirm with latest trunk on MacOS 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.3.1. All playlist in Mixxx are just like in iTunes.

Hint: Mixxx first displays "regular" itunes playlists inside iTunes` own playlist folders (if present), then all "smart" itunes playlists and at last all the "regular" itunes playlists which are not inside iTunes` own playlist folders.

David, which MacOS/iTunes/Mixxx version you have on your system?

This bug can be reproduced with the current trunk 2840 patched with bug #826026 on Ubuntu Natty and iTunes 10.4.

In the attached iTunes library there are two playlists with the same songs but with different order,
"test" and "test2". Both playlists are displayed in the same order in Mixxx.

I think this is caused by the fact, that the iTunes (and also Rhythmbox) playlists have no position position column like the mixxx playlists.

Fixed in iTunes. Should also be fixed in RB and Traktor, but I don't have a Traktor library to test and I'm not on Linux at the moment so haven't tested RB.
