Convert XSPF to WAV

Understanding XSPF and WAV file formats

XSPF (XML Shareable Playlist Format) is a file format used for sharing playlists. It is an XML-based format that contains a list of media files, such as audio or video, but does not contain the actual media files themselves. Instead, it references the locations of these files.

WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is a standard audio file format used for storing waveform data. It is commonly used for high-quality audio files and is widely supported across different platforms and devices.

Converting XSPF to WAV

Converting an XSPF file to a WAV file involves extracting the audio files referenced in the XSPF playlist and converting them to the WAV format. This process requires a tool that can read the XSPF file, access the media files, and convert them to WAV.
