'''XML Shareable Playlist Format''' ('''XSPF'''), pronounced "spiff", is a next-generation [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/playlist playlist] format for digital media such as songs in Vorbis or MP3 format. This wiki is for developers.

The mime type for XSPF playlists is <tt>application/xspf+xml</tt>.

Spec is at http://www.xspf.org/specs/

== Supporting applications ==

These are applications which support XSPF and have not yet been added to the [[http://xspf.org/applications][main applications list]].

** You have to be a member and to select "XSPF" in your preferences to use them by default, but you can look and test a sample playlist here: http://www.jamendo.com/get/track/id/album/audio/xspf/1003/?aue=ogg2

** includes modified version of Fabricio's player

"We added: A Scrubber/Shuttle so the lister can move the playhead to any point along the song. Time Remaining, Elapsed Time Played, Genre of Song, Origin/Location (city) of artist. Site specific stuff which my not be of interest to others is: Review song link: we were adding as a layer to the player but, it got too large and ugly. Buy song link. And a bunch of nice styling/skin tweaks."

== Limited supporting applications ==
* foo_xspf - writes xspf files only with location. So the goal of playlist sharing betwenn friends is not achieved.

== Non supporting applications listed as supporting ==
* http://php4xspf.berlios.de/ - From their page: Note: The classes are stil in alpha and do not incorporate ... even the possibility to parse a XSPF file.
