Hi @Slak_Jaw, I also have this issue…
I understand the technical reason but I’m not agree a solution couldn’t be implemented.
Many reasons for that:
A simple solution/workaround could be to hide empty folders/playlists !
I have the same issue.
I do also use other software (e.g. Beatunes), reading out the iTunes (music.app) playlists, that show the correct lists. So it seems to be related to the implementation within Djay.
I‘m on a M1 Mac.
Hi @Criwo, thanks for the info. I will pass this onto our engineering team, but unfortunately in the meantime there’s not much that can be done on our end; djay pulls the data directly from the iTunes framework, and there’s no way on our side to distinguish if this is a bogus playlist, as the data looks the same for a valid/bogus playlist.
Hi Slak Jaw, just to be sure: it‘s not blank playlists.
It‘s about deleted playlists that should no longer be present in the local ITunes (music.app) library shown by DJay.
Also information about my system:
Device: MacBook Pro (16", 2021 - M1 Max)
Operating system: Apple Os / Sanoma 14.5
Djay version: Djay Pro 5.2.8
Thanks @Criwo,
I’m still having this issue myself as well.
Would indeed be a good idea to have a sort of Refresh or Debug option don’t you think?
I also asked other vendors like https://dj.studio/ to look into this problem. Thanks anyway for bringing this update.
Thanks @DJ_Big_Blender !
I have made another screenshot of my collection where you can see:
For me this is a prove that it somehow is possible to read the music.app database correctly.
Please, algoriddim, don’t get me wrong. I don’t wanna say you are wrong. I just am really annoyed by this “bug” (in my opinion it is a bug) and want to help narrowing things down.
It also seems interesting that @DJ_Big_Blender and me both have non-existing-folders showing up exactly three times.
Same here
Old erased folders in Music.app shows in djay 5.2.8
Did anyone tried to reinstall Music.app to get rid of phantom folders?
Is there some hidden system library folders to erase?
Thanks for the additional info and screenshots @Criwo. This is very helpful and I’ve shared this with the engineering team.
This is so annoying………………this is just about a deal breaker for me…. Please fix the playlist bug….
Hi @Slak_Jaw, the new 5.2.9 Mac version has not solved this issue yet. Was that expected?
I checked because I read this in the 5.2.9 release notes:
'FIXED: Fixed possible empty playlists in Apple Music library.
Hi @DJ_Big_Blender, thanks for the follow up. This is a different issue and the engineering team is still working on it. I will report here when this has been addressed. Thanks!
The fixed you are referring to in the 5.2.9 release notes is this one: Empty Playlists Apple Music on Djay - #24 by Criwo
Hui there…
Another release, another try.
I just bumped into this newest release 5.2.10 for macOS and installed it.
I see this in the release notes of 5.2.10: ‘Fixed Local Music source showing empty or nonexistent playlists from Music app (macOS).’
Is this the fix that should resolve this issue?
Hi @DJ_Big_Blender, sorry for the delayed response on this one. Yes, I believe this was supposed to be addressed in 5.2.10. I’ve sent a follow up to engineering to see if any additional steps are required to remove the playlists/folders. I’ll report back as soon as I have news. Thanks!
I confirm it is fixed (at least for me) !!!
I have to thank @Slak_Jaw , I think you raise this issue directly to the dev team and they’ve fixed within a quite decent time 
It didn’t solve anything for me…
