I'd want to read the contents of the file iTunes stores in ~/Music/ iTunes/iTunes Library in my Cocoa Application.
How can i do?

You can't; the format isn't documented, and changes frequently. Use the XML version instead, or use Scripting Bridge to access iTunes.


On a related note, keep in mind that the user's iTunes library isn't guaranteed to be in ~/Music.
