Re: [videoblogging] Re: iTunes storage of XML?

[Joshua Paul]

Look in the iTunes Music Library.xml file (inside your iTunes directory). You should find the xml - for files that have been downloaded - is stored like:

<key>6499</key>
        <dict>
            <key>Track ID</key><integer>6499</integer>
            <key>Name</key><string>Scooter Club</string>
            <key>Album</key><string>Rant 24/7</string>
            <key>Genre</key><string>Podcast</string>
            <key>Kind</key><string>QuickTime movie file</string>
            <key>Size</key><integer>7037504</integer>
            <key>Total Time</key><integer>158692</integer>
            <key>Date Modified</key><date>2005-06-30T04:09:37Z</date>
            <key>Date Added</key><date>2005-06-30T04:09:37Z</date>
            <key>Artwork Count</key><integer>1</integer>
            <key>Track Type</key><string>File</string>

            <key>File Folder Count</key><integer>4</integer>
            <key>Library Folder Count</key><integer>1</integer>
        </dict>

Yeah, I see your point. Perhaps I'm just used to using NNW which allows one to examine the XML. Then, if there is an issue, the clever monkey could perhaps examine it and see Sure, you can always hit the url with another app (browser), but it's nice to have that feature built-in. Sometimes I like to see exactly what my app is parsing into it's DB, plist, I'll need to poke around some more, I'm curious as to how iTunes marks-up the as-yet- > Why keep the orig XML around if you can parse, drop values into pList > > Perhaps.
