The playlist tracks shared by the owner go missing on the collaborative playlist.

Collaborative playlists cannot be used to share track data (music files).
Please use a different method to receive the tracks from the owner and follow the steps below to locate the missing tracks.

Receive the tracks and save the music files in any folder (it is recommended to create a new folder).
Select [Preferences] > [Advanced]category > [Database]tab and add a checkmark to the [Specified user folders] checkbox of the [Auto Relocate Search Folders].
Add the folder from Step 1.
Remove the checkmark from all the items except for [Specified user folders].
Open the [File] menu and select [Display All Missing Files].
Check that the collaborative playlist tracks are displayed in the [Missing File Manager] window.
*If tracks other than the collaborative playlist tracks are displayed, add the folder those tracks are saved in using the points in Step 2.
In the [Missing File Manager] window, click the [Auto Relocate] button.

Can I use a collaborative playlist to share track data (music files)?

Track data cannot be shared with a collaborative playlist. To share tracks that are saved locally on a Windows or Mac computer, the tracks need to be shared using a separate procedure.

When sharing with other members a playlist created based on the tracks on a streaming service, all those members need to be subscribed to that streaming service.

What is the Collaborative Playlist?

Collaborative Playlist is a function that allows a user to share a playlist with other users and, in turn, also share with those users the information displayed in the tracklist, including the title, artist, and preview waveform of each track.

Up to 5 users including the owner can share a Collaborative Playlist.

The members who have accepted the owner’s invitation to share the Collaborative Playlist are referred to as the shared members.

If you have the same track data (music files) as the owner, or if you are subscribed to the same streaming service as the owner and share the streaming service tracks, more detailed information including the CUE, GRID, and Phrases can also be shared.
