Portable Playlist Wiki
This is a
MoinMoin
wiki setup to discuss a next generation playlist format that:
Is open -- it would be nice to have this new format become an officially sanctioned standard.
Is portable -- You should be able to send a playlist sans content to your friend and have it be usable.
Doesn't suck -- Most existing playlist formats suck. See here for Lucas Gonze's
Playlist format survey
The name of the format is XSPF, which stands for "XML Shareable Playlist Format," and which can be pronounced"spiff." The mime type of the format is application/xspf+xml. The current version is 1. The current specification is
here
This Wiki was the center of our work during the initial stage, but current development is in a more decentralized format, out on the web.
A sample document in XSPF is
DefaultFormatInXmlVersionThree
. Version 0 draft 8 is frozen and code-ready. Version 1 is not quite frozen.
To get real-world XSPF documents, open any playlist page on
Webjay
and append .xspf to the URL. To play XSPF documents, use
Musicplayer
or
Gnomoradio
. For XSLT to transform XSPF to other formats, including SMIL and M3U, see
the recipes section of the specification

RDF subproject
As of about March 30, 2004, there has been consensus to pursue an XML fork and an RDF fork, with the XML fork the near-term goal and the RDF fork the long-term goal.
