C# LINQ-To-XML iTunes Library Parser

iTunesLibraryParser

The iTunes Library Parser is implemented in C# utilizing LINQ-To-XML. Given the location of a iTunes Music Library XML file it parses the PropertyList format, which is defined by the Document Type Declaration (DTD) defined here http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd. It supports parsing tracks, albums, and playlists. More features will be added periodically.

Nuget

The nuget package is available here

Usage

var library = new ITunesLibrary("iTunesLibrary.xml");

var tracks = library.Tracks 
// returns all tracks in the iTunes Library

var albums = library.Albums
// returns all albums in the iTunes Library

var playlists = library.Playlists
// returns all playlists in the iTunes Library

Versioning

iTunesLibaryParser will be maintained under the Semantic Versioning guidelines. Releases will follow this format:

<major>.<minor>.<build>

• If a release breaks backward compatibility the major version will be bumped (resetting minor and build back to zero).
• New features and updates without breaking backward compatibility will bump the minor version (resetting the build to zero)
• Bug fixes and small miscellaneous changes increase the build number

Performance Testing

14,500 tracks -> 800ms
2400 albums -> 1.4s
100 playlists -> 2.2s

Coming Soon

Additional features will be coming soon like filtering tracks by track criteria.
