XSPF is the XML format for sharing playlists.
- It is open — No proprietary lock-in.
- It is portable — You should be able to send a playlist to your friend and have it work.
- It is well-engineered — Most playlist formats get the easy things wrong.
- Unlike M3U…XSPF is XML.
- Unlike SMIL…XSPF is simple.
- Unlike ASX…XSPF is open.
