Hi All,
I am parsing the date_modified field in the iTunes xml file which
looks like this:
<key>Date Modified</key><date>2006-12-06T02:53:17Z</date>
Can anyone help to explain this format? At 2pm I made a change to
this track in iTunes which then created a new xml file with the date
above which is almost an hour out.
Does anyone know why the iTunes Date_modified field in the xml file
does not show the actual Date Modified? Or is it using a specific
Time Zone setting perhaps?
That Z at the end means that it is time in GMT (Zulu) time zone. Your
time offset is +11, and if you add 11 hours you get 2 pm (note that
the time in the key is 2:53 AM.)

Hey, thanks Tom and Peter.
I am in Sydney Australia:
Standard time zone: UTC/GMT +10 hours
Daylight saving time: +1 hour
Current time zone offset: UTC/GMT +11 hours
Time zone abbreviation: EST - Eastern Summer(Daylight) Time
So yes we get +11 hours.
Now I'll need a way to convert these 2006-12-06T02:53:17Z Time
formats to the current time for the user on Mac/Win in different
parts of the world. Is there a standard way RB users have done this
in the past? I guess it means knowing the users time zone - a call to
the system to get this info perhaps?
Cheers
Jeff
