iTunes Listing System

alexskiing · Oct 2, 2007

Hi, Im trying to write a (web) program for the iphone. This program would fetch and sort the "itunes music library.xml" file, into different things, like song and artist. Does anyone know of a API that i can adapt, or even how to sort a xml file for that matter?

Thank,

Though I don't anything about programming specifically for the iPhone, one option for sorting the XML is to use XSLT. It can very easily do this. I'm not sure if that'll help though with your setup, but that's all the advice I have on this.

The itunes library file is an Apple XML plist file. I would look up plist if I were you - for instance:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Property_list
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/CFPropertyLists/index.html

Of course, then you need to learn something about XML, but yes, I'm sure you would be able to sort it.
