Hi, is there a way to import my itunes library into Mediaportal, in a way that doesn't involve renaming folders or converting files. I want to carry on using iTunes.

Thanks.

If you mean by "library" the itunes xml files itself, then the answer is: No
if "library" means the folder structure of your music collection, which you scanned via itunes, then the answer is: Yes

Simply scan your music folder using MP Config.
We're not modifying, converting, renaming your files. just reading it.
And it's done a lot more faster than itunes can do it.

Thanks! Mediaportal does a good job of it, shame you can't see the album artwork.

there are numerous ways to see the album artwork. embedded in media file, folder.jpg, import from last.fm.

But i asume you talk about the iTunes stuff.
Right, this is a problem, since it is really stored in a proprietory way.
