[Playlist] archive.org and XSPF in the Netlabel pages

Hello!


I just called and was asked to send in my request via e-mail,
so here it is.

I'm speaking for the Xiph.org Foundation here, the creators
of XSPF, the playlist format archive.org is using to feed
the Flash Music player powering Netlabel pages (like [1]).

I'm very happy to see that you are using XSPF at this place.
What I want to ask for is a very small and logically consequent
thing: please add a link to the XSPF file played to the table
called "Information". For the page behind [1] it currently
reads

   Information	                   Format      Size
 -------------------------------------------------------
   CrankThatMixtape_files.xml      Metadata    10.5K
   CrankThatMixtape_meta.xml       Metadata    825.0B
   CrankThatMixtape_reviews.xml    Metadata    438.0B

Please add an entry like

   CrankThatMixtape.xspf           Playlist    12.3K

to that table. For that and of course the other albums ;-)


So why do I dare asking for this?

 * Because XSPF is still a young format and we need
   your help with visual promotion.

 * Because it makes sense since XSPF is actually combining
   the informations of the file list and meta information
   files that you already linked for download.

 * Because it's a ten minute job to fix for the right person.

I'm hoping for your support here. Please let me know if you
have any questions. Thank you very much!

Best regards,



Sebastian Pipping
