Due to an issue that seems to reoccur every 2-3 years with iCloud Photos on PC not syncing, I finally threw in the towel and bought a Mac Mini for the sole purpose of having it house all of my Apple-Device-Sourcing media (pics, music, movies, etc).
I had it pull down my iTunes library from iCloud, but it couldn't access certain songs. So I figured the easy way to fix it was to remove all downloads, copy my library (files only, no .xml or anything) to the Mini and import it.
This worked great, except my only playlist, which is contains the soundtracks and scores in order of appearance to an entire movie series, in order.
I can recreate this, but if I can just copy over a file and import it and have it work again (across the Mac and all my iOS devices, that'd be fantastic).
Is there any sort of library .xml file or some such that I can copy from my PC (which has not had iTunes started on it since getting the Mini, so it should contain the intact playlist) and then import to restore the playlist?
I'll be backing up said playlist in the future:

Sub question: On the webpage linked above, is it still possible to make a zip file with the playlist and it's contents inside, and it functions?
