[Playlist] Musicmobs' XSPF files

[Toby Padilla]

Sebastian,

I agree, we should clean up the format with an extension declaration  
for the itunesurl element. I think the second example is a case of no  
tags for this playlist (we do declare an extension for the tags).  
That one is simply a bug and it should be easy enough to fix on our end.

Adding an <extension> to the itunesurl element might take a bit more  
work since both of our Mobster clients are accessing it. Let me talk  
to the devs and get back with more info.

Regards,
Toby (Musicmobs founder)
