Rfc1394:

'''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 OGG or MP3 format. This wiki is for developers.

The mime type for XSPF playlists is <tt>application/xspf+xml</tt>, although it has not yet been [http://www.iana.org/cgi-bin/mediatypes.pl registered] with IANA.

"We added:
A Scrubber/Shuttle so the lister can move the playhead to any point along the song.
Time Remaining
Time Played
Genre of Song
Origin/Location (city) of artist

Of site specific stuff which my not be of interest to others is:
Review song link: we were adding as a layer to the paler but, it got too large and ugly.
Buy song link.
And a bunch of nice styling/skin tweaks"
