How to restore a Music Playlist from Time Machine backup?

[scouser75]

Hi Guys,

I've made a bit of a boo-boo earlier today. I deleted a whole host of songs from 1 of my Playlist I created on the Music app on my Mac.

I have Time Machine backups, so is there a way of restoring this individual playlist?

Since this happened today, if you restore your Music library from yesterday, you should be good to go again.

Thanks HSD. Unfortunately I don't back up daily. In the end, I went into a fairly recent backup and used that. But I'm a fair few songs short. Just need to buy them again.

If bought from the iTunes Store, no need to rebuy- just download from purchased songs. Elsewhere stores probably have a similar feature.

And setup Time Machine to back up at least daily and you won't ever have this problem again. Better, back up to at least TWO discs with one stored offsite and regularly rotated with the one onsite.

Thanks HSD. Most of the songs were rips from my old CDs which I threw away when I moved.

As for backups - I have 2 backups and keep both in different places just in case.
