Onkyo receiver and iTunes not loading

[MarcMcC]

I have successfully synced my iTunes to my Spotify account.  However, when attempting to open my iTunes folder on my Onkyo receiver, I continually receive the message "This list is empty" on the TV screen.  Any suggestions as to how to fix this?  Thanks!

Hey! Welcome to the community :) 

I am guessing your iTunes playlists are made up all local files on your computer. 

If so, your Onkyo won't be able to play those tracks unless Spotify on your computer has been able to link them to tracks stored in the Spotify catalogue, as the Onkyo will not have access to those local files Spotify does.

Thanks, Peter.  Any idea how I do that on my computer (Spotify program)?  Appreciate the help!

The Spotify client should try automatically link tracks, so I am not sure why it is not working. Have you tried copy and pasting the tracks into a new playlist?

If its not a big playlist you might be safe just remaking it by using tracks in the Spotify catalogue.
