"This file contains some (but not all) of the same information stored in the
iTunes Library file. The purpose of the iTunes Music Library.xml file is to
make your music and playlists available to other applications on your
computer. In Mac OS X other iLife applications (like iPhoto, iDVD, and
iMovie) use this file to make it easier for you to add music from your
iTunes library to your projects."
