Hi!
I have just started to use this software to see if I can use it with my mp3's, and think it's great...
...but I need some help.
I want to export my mp3 tags in the form of a XML where the xml has a number of album nodes, and every album node has separate attributes like: album name etc.
And every album node contains a number of sub nodes, which represent the songs of the album.
The song node value corresponds to an mp3 file and has also different attributes like: name of the song, duration of the song etc...
But I can't make a working configuration with attributes rather than separate nodes....can anybody help me. I have been trying to edit the existing XML-templates by squonk, but can't really figure out how to get the attributes tight because I'm quite new to XML and all that!
Thank you
