Requires node

This particular library would require node, which would make the potential install base very limited.

This would be intended for use on the server. I need to look a little bit more into how iTunes stores / exports playlists but this still could be a good solution to our problem.

The other choice would be to use python to parse the iTunes XML and extract data on the client, but there are a couple of disadvantages with that (cant update the parsing code without forcing everyone to update their installs, more dependencies on client env). If we can get iTunes to spit out a smaller XML file that's easier to upload then I think this would still be the better approach

After working on this a little bit this morning I think the "other choice" described in my last comment is actually the way to go. It would be best to just be able to post a JSON payload containing an array of simple song objects to the API. I will work on a parser to be run on the client side.
