I've since changed platforms a couple of times, and I'm not really using it anymore. In any case, the source is available here: http://www.jonathanfritz.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/yourTunes.zip Hey Anil,

Under the tools menu, select options, and then browse to the path of the iTunes xml file. The default path on Windows is \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music Library.xml. Take a look at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660 for more information. Once you've saved those options, you should be able to restart the program, and everything should work as before.

As for the ability to go from Zune playlists to iTunes, that's a little bit more complicated. From an above comment: "The short answer is that I don’t support it. My application is scanning your iTunes library via an XML file that iTunes writes out with all of your library information every time it makes a change to your library. Unfortunately, that is a one-way process, and I can’t (easily) make changes to your library from my program. That said, iTunes has the ability to import .m3u files, so if you’re interested, I’ll patch the program so that it can convert your .zpl files to .m3u files." I've got some plans for the next rewrite that include adding more import/export format support, and porting the app to C# under Mono so that it can run on Linux as well. If there are any features that you'd like to see in that release, feel free to let me know.

What about the ability to go from a Zune Playlist to iTunes? That would make my life complete! :) Jon,

The interface is very clean and simple as well as the actual process of transferring the playlists. Thanks again :). Very nice work, Jon!
