What is XSPF file?
XSPF (XML Shareable Playlist Format) is an .xspf file type which is used to store music files and multimedia playlists. This file format was developed by the University of California in 2002 as a basic, easy-to-read format for sharing music playlists. The XSPF format was designed to be an open-source XML format for sharing multimedia playlists, and is now supported by leading media players such as VLC, iTunes and Windows Media Player.

How to convert the file from WPL to XSPF?
To successfully convert the WPL file to XSPF, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.WPL). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case XSPF (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than XSPF).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. WPL to XSPF. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting WPL files to XSPF files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension XSPF, while before this step we had the WPL file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new XSPF file, or not.
