<p>I am not referring to the <em>iTunes Library</em> itself, but the <code>.xml</code> that can (or maybe could, not sure if that feature is available on newer <em>iTunes</em> versions) be exported from within <em>iTunes</em>.</p>
<p>As an example, I googled and found <a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jasonrudolph/stratify/master/spec/fixtures/iTunes%20Music%20Library.xml">this xml</a> which is parsed fine by vlc (both <code>2.2.x</code> and <code>3.0.0</code>).</p>

<pre><code> One could, potentially, ignore files (remove from playlist) for which
*preparsing* (if any) fails for a certain set of file-extensions, but
it will probably lead to users being confused about what is happening
to the state of the playlist (as they will most likely be able to see
the items disappear in real time).
Having it as an opt-in option might be a solution, but I am not too
sure. Personally, I am semi-against making decisions based on the
file-extension alone (as it does not necessarily reflect the true
contents of the file). I do however see how users can find the
`--hidden-filetypes` option useful.
