How do I open an XML document?

[50]

Hello, I am trying to send someone my song list from itunes. As you may know they have two options, one to export library and one to export song list. I tried exporting song list but it's very hard to keep track as the columns aren't straight. I then tried exporting the song list as an xml file but when I open it, it just has a lot of code. How do I filter the code so that it goes into regular columns and is organized? Thanks, if there is an easier option to do this please let me know.

What are you opening the file with? Internet Explorer? Notepad?

So there is no way to organize it into a spreadsheet like application? It is opening with IE, I tried opening it with Word and Excel but it just came as code.

You can open it with an RSS reader, probably,

try opening excel and then drag and drop the file onto it, it should prompt you on how you want to import it, and your all set, i just tried it and it worked fine, made nice columns and everything.

Hmm that didn't work ameesh. I think I need an RSS reader like pulse8 said. BTW
here is the xml document. Can someone reccomend a good rss reader?

learn xsl

But really, a browser will format it nicely for you. You just have to learn a few things about how xml works and then it all makes sense.
