XML Shareable Playlist Format - Content Resolution

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> </div> <div class="left_space_holder"> <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>I have sometimes seen women, who would have been sensible enough, if they would have been <i>content</i> not to be called women of sense—but by aiming at what they had not, they only proved absurd—for sense cannot be counterfeited.<span class="quot">”</span><br>—<a href="/who_is_horace_walpole" title="Who is Horace Walpole?">Horace Walpole</a> (1717–1797)</p> <p id="quote_ext"><span class="quot">“</span>Some hours seem not to be occasion for any deed, but for resolves to draw breath in.
