Supporting applications
- XSPF, short for XML Shareable Playlist Format, uses XML tags to list the path of local audio files or URLs of online streaming media in a playlist, which is similar to M3U, M3U8 and WPL that we have introduced before. XSPF itself doesn't contain any video or audio data.
- The.xspf file extension is most commonly used for XSPF playlist files. These files are saved in the XML Shareable Playlist format. The files use XML tags to list and organize files that are included in the playlist. The XSPF files do not contain any actual audio files, just references to the audio files listed in the playlist.
- This page explains how you can easily convert a.xspf file to a PDF using free and easy to use tools from PDF24. The methods to create PDF files explained here are free and easy to use. A PDF creator and a PDF converter makes the conversion possible. The PDF24 Creator installs for you a virtual PDF printer so that you can print your.xspf file on that printer in order to convert your file to PDF.

'We added: A Scrubber/Shuttle so the lister can move the playhead to any point along the song. Time Remaining, Elapsed Time Played, Genre of Song, Origin/Location (city) of artist. Site specific stuff which my not be of interest to others is: Review song link: we were adding as a layer to the player but, it got too large and ugly. Buy song link. And a bunch of nice styling/skin tweaks.'
