>> Maybe the file is corrupt. In most cases it can be solved by deleting the XML file and then making a slight change in iTunes (e.g. rename a song). The file is then written again soon and should be fine.

> Yeah, it’s a strange problem because this file gets rewritten from scratch all the time — not just every time you alter anything in your iTunes library, but even after playing songs (because the file includes play-counts.) So even if it got corrupted somehow, it would be replaced quite soon thereafter, if the user is actually using iTunes.

Yes. I already had customers were only deleting the XML file solved the problem. Maybe the file was locked or write-protected in the damaged stage, so it could not be overwritten by iTunes.
