Hmmmmm, sounds like iTunes. ;-) FWIW, Apple people have claimed that the iTunes XML library exists specifically for interaction with other apps, but there's never been any official word that it's cool for *third-party* apps to rely on this file and its format. So people who want to poke at the iTunes library without relying on Apple Events are kind of operating in a gray area. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
