[MPlayer-users] playlist file syntax

[Lucas Gonze]

Hi,

Speaking as the author of the survey at
http://gonze.com/playlists/playlist-format-survey.html, and an
obsessive of playlist format obscurantia, I'd like to draw your
attention to the playlist format that I and others have been working
on since last spring.

Specification here:

Home of the working group here:
http://xspf.org

It's a huge amount of work to do a conscientious job on something like
this.  The baseline of the thing we have done here is just to do our
homework, including studying what's out there.  XSPF is a distillation
of real world functionality, which we knew about via the study I did. 
The format is pretty simple, and at the same time we've paid attention
to details like the mime type.

Ok, so, that's it.  If I can help out with mplayer support for xspf,
feel free to ask.
