Is there a way in sed/regex to only print these lines dropping the rest? If
not, I can use your above solution piping 7 commands together, but it seems
like a kludge.

no reason to pipe 7 commands to get the results. sed can handle lots of commands at once.

Let's try it this way

sed -n -e 's|1|1a|p' -e 's|2|2a|p' -e 's|3|3a|p' -e 's|4|4a|p' -e 's|5|5a|p' -e 's|6|6a|p' -e 's|7|7a|p' file

the "-n" says do not print lines to stdout by default
the "p" at then end of each substitute command says "print the current line"

teatime 13 % sed -n -e 's|.*<key>Name</key><string>\(.*\)</string>|<td class=Name>\1|p' -e 's|.*<key>Artist</key><string>\(.*\)</string>|<td class=Artist>\1|p' plist
<td class=Name>Rock Me Right
<td class=Artist>Susan Tedeschi
