I actually haven't automated the XML portion yet, I just have a handcoded XML file. Like I mentioned, to automate you'd need something like getID3 to pull the metadata from the audio files. I guess I've decided against doing that in part because I want to use some metadata that is outside of the ID3 spec (e.g. version, branch...), so I just edit the XML file every time I upload a new song.

I found your post because I am using the same xspf music player on my website. I am using it to simply play 30 sec clips of .mp3s that are on my server. I’ve been looking for a way to automate to generate on the fly the xspf files, by looking into my directory tree and building it off of the file names. It’s seem like you were able to do this but Im not sure how to incorporate the XML portion. Can you enlighten me? I would greatly apprciate it. You can email me directly at greghays@girdermusic.com
