Content Resolution
Traditionally playlists have been composed of file paths that pointed to individual titles. This allowed a playlist to be played locally on one machine or shared if the listed file paths were URLs accessible to more than one machine (e.g. on the web). XSPF's meta-data rich open format has permitted a new kind of playlist sharing called content resolution.
A simple form of content resolution is the localisation of a playlist based on metadata. A content resolver will open XSPF playlists and search a catalog for every title with , and tags, then localise the playlist to reference the available matching tracks. A catalog may reference be a collection of media files on a local disk, a music subscription service like Yahoo! Music Unlimited or some other searchable archive. The end result is shareable playlists that are not tied to a specific collection or service.</p></div><p>Read more about this topic: <a href="/xml_shareable_playlist_format">XML Shareable Playlist Format</a></p>

<p><h3>Famous quotes containing the words <span class="quote_words">content</span> and/or <span class="quote_words">resolution</span>:</h3></p><ul>
<p id="quote_ext"><span class="quot">“</span>Quintilian [educational writer in Rome about A.D. 100] hoped that teachers would be sensitive to individual differences of temperament and ability. . . . Beating, he thought, was usually unnecessary. A teacher who had made the effort to understand his pupil’s individual needs and character could probably dispense with it: “I will <i>content</i> myself with saying that children are helpless and easily victimized, and that therefore no one should be given unlimited power over them.”<span class="quot">”</span><br>—<a href="/who_is_c._john_sommerville" title="Who is C. John Sommerville?">C. John Sommerville</a> (20th century)</p>
<p id="quote_ext"><span class="quot">“</span>We often see malefactors, when they are led to execution, put on <i>resolution</i> and a contempt of death which, in truth, is nothing else but fearing to look it in the face—so that this pretended bravery may very truly be said to do the same good office to their mind that the blindfold does to their eyes.<span class="quot">”</span><br>—<a href="/who_is_françois" title="Who is François?">François</a>, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)</p></ul>
