XML Playlist Format

This format should hopefully be shared by at least alsaplayer and noatun, in our effort to avoid ls dumps :)

<!DOCTYPE XMLPlaylist><playlist version="1.0" client="noatun">
 <item title="Song Title" url="url" local="local" length="length of song in seconds" />
</playlist>

Version was just added to <playlist>, it represents the version of the playlist format, which currently is set at 1.0.

• title - Title of song
• url - URL of file, if local, probably should have file:/
• local - if a local file, or a remove downloaded file (no file:/, just path)
• comments - Comments (like from an ID3 tag)
• author - Artist (e.g. ID3)
• length - length of song in seconds, or -1 if unknown
• album - album (ID3)
• date - date of song (ID3)

Perhaps more as we see more need. You can always add nonstandard ones for your own playlist, or metadata from the player.

<entergroup title="My Techno Files" />

• Made group into entergroup so that lesser playlists have it easier to implement
• s/artist/author/ because not all files have "Artists" but all have "Authors"
• Added a "version" property to <playlist>
