View/play contents of exported playlist XML files

AppleScript Applet for Music

Open (or drag-and-drop) and view the contents of a playlist XML file exported from the Music app in a conventional table layout. Includes options to play local files, send (import) the XML to the Music app, export a TXT, CSV or M3U version, copy info to clipboard and reveal existing files in the Finder. (Not for use with exported Library XML files.)

Also see Playlist XML Librarian which can manage a folder-full of exported Playist XML files.

Action shot:

Playlist XML Viewer in action

Certainly more readable than XML formatting. (And there are more columns off to the right.)
