Hey all,
We have a 2017 iMac and 2020 MBP. Both running Catalina 10.15.4
Everything was identical in each of the Music 1.0.4 on the machines. Now one is missing a special playlist for my wife. Is there an easy way to get back that one playlist from the MBP to the iMac?
 
On the machine that still has your playlist: Open Music, select the playlist you want to export from the list on the left. Now from the Music menus at the top of the screen select File-> Library-> Export Playlist.
Save it to your desktop. This is just a very small text file. Now get that text file on to the machine missing your playlist. Repeat the process only this time choose Import Playlist. Note: all the songs must still be in the library for this to work. The playlist file is just a text directory that refers back to songs/music stored in the library. If the songs were deleted you'll have to reimport all them as well.

Thank you very much! It was a whole lot easier your way than trying to build it from scratch (my way).
