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>
