Here's something about the iTunes Music Library File Format

Hm... thinking some more, the iTunes file format would of course be
totally irrelevant to a Gnus/Emacs based podcast housekeeping system.
That system would maintain its data in a lisp file (like the nnrss
backend does).

But it needs to get feedback from the player that when it has
completely played the track.  Is that possible with xmms?  Is that
possible with other players?
