Re: [xsl] iTunes XSL

[Barry Lay <blay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is a DTD for the iTunes XML file on the Apple web site (as 
referred to in the DOCTYPE) but it doesn't clarify much.  The file looks 
like a dump of a Map - its just keys and values in generic elements.  I 
have been working with it to clean up my library after converting it all 
to Apple Lossless encoding (it duplicated everything).  I am running it 
through an initial grouping pass to convert it to a sensible structure 
before further processing it.  I am using XSLT 2.0 which makes things a 
little easier.
