I've been trying to put something together based on Emplode's XML output, but the way that it handles playlists makes it difficult - just to get a playlist with a list of track titles, the stylesheet would have to lookup the fid within the relevant <tune> in the rest of the XML to get the track title, and my skills aren't up to that.

Has anyone had a go at doing this? Before anyone points this out, I know a lot of work has been done in Hijack, but this question is about Emplode.

What, exactly, are you trying to put together? Have you seen charcoalgray99's empeg web interface?

I've done that for JEmplode's output - and I even made JEmplode use the FIDs as ID attributes specifically to enable that kind of lookup. The output format of Emplode is IMHO inferior; it doesn't even have a DTD!

Have a look at my DSSSL stylesheet for JEmplode's output, now at version 2.
