Description

Hi,

Since I switched to Linux, I kept a backup of my iTunes library (both the binary and XML files), with lots of playlists, all play counts, track ratings...

It would be very nice to be able to re-import all data that it into Noise/Music, a lot of time went into sorting/rating. So a nice to have feature !

In the meantime, if I code a script, independent from the Music/Noise app, and push infos directly in it's sqlite database (`~/.local/share/noise/database_0_3_1.db`), could that cause some trouble, or would it be OK ? It would probably be loose-matching, but better than nothing.
I mostly want to restore :
* playlists,
* smart playlists
* play counts
* date added
* last played
* rating

Thanks.
