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>Sir Charles: Aren’t you drinking?<BR>Princess Dala: I don’t drink.<BR>Sir Charles: Never?<BR>Princess Dala: I’m quite <i>content</i> with reality, I have no need for escape.<BR>Sir Charles: Well, I enjoy reality as much as the next man, it’s just in my case, fortunately, reality includes a good stiff belt every now and then.<span class="quot">”</span><br>—<a href="/who_is_blake_edwards" title="Who is Blake Edwards?">Blake Edwards</a> (b. 1922)</p> <p id="quote_ext"><span class="quot">“</span>We have been here over forty years, a longer period than the children of Israel wandered through the wilderness, coming to this Capitol pleading for this recognition of the principle that the Government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed.
