I’m trying to create a list of my favorites to stash away in my notetaking app (Obsidian). I’ve tried exporting my favorites as a simple playlist and then exporting that but it’s just a sequence of numbers instead of a list of album titles. Any ideas on how I can do this?

Which media provider are you using?

If you’re using Local Files, exporting a playlist should give you an m3u8 file. Opening that in a text editor will give you a list of file paths to each favorited track.

If you got a symspl file, that means you exported a _Smart_ Playlist instead of a regular one. (Which would have the sequences of numbers like you said.) Open the Smart Playlist and in it’s menu, you can click “Copy as normal playlist”. Open the new, normal playlist and Export that.
