Files with the .XSPF extension contain playlist data, i.e. a list of links to multimedia files saved in a standardized format based on XML – the XML Shareable Playlist Format. The file contains XML tags used to organize and list files contained in the playlist.

XSPF files are similar to M3U files. They do not contain data to be played back, only references to this data. For more information about the XSPF format, please visit XSPF.Org.
