Title: Export Playlist Content To XML
Post by: Jamil on January 12, 2020, 08:26:13 am
I currently have a need to export the content of a smartlist to an XML document.  I am a subscriber to Soundiiz that I use to synchronize all music I love on various streaming sites.  Soundiiz has a cool feature where I may create playlists on its site to then synchronize with all streaming sites it currently supports.  To do this, I create an XML document containing playlist content I wish to sync.

Can MC25 export content of a playlist into an XML document?  I am not seeing XML as an output option.  I do see "JRiver Smartlist XML", but this is a file containing only smartlist settings.  I need an XML document showing all content.

Something like below as an example:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<playlist>
  <track>
    <title>Starlights</title>
    <artist>Oscillian</artist>
    <album>Building Better Worlds</album>
  </track>
  <track>
    <title>Mask</title>
    <artist>Dance With the Dead</artist>
    <album>Into the Abyss</album>
  </track>
</playlist>

I have learned there is a universal XML document for playlists called xspf.  It appears that MC supports reading and playing media in this format, but it does not support exporting to this format.

Search for xspf + jriver at Google.  I found a few.

If you can't find support for export, we can probably add it.

I created an XML document containing close to 800 tracks; however, Soundiiz has issues importing my local file.  I have written to support about this issue for more information.  If I cannot get Soundiiz to work, I will not need this specific feature.

TIA
