ShoutIRC Music Database is (yet another) XML-based format.

There are 2 variants of the format, SMD (a plain XML file), and SMZ, which is a compressed XML file with a custom header.

Compressed SMD Structure

The 16-byte header is like this: (Note: All values are Little Endian!)

SMDZ string, 4 bytes long
compLen, unsigned 32-bit int, the compressed length of the data
fullLen, unsigned 32-bit int, the decompressed length of the data
reserved, 4 bytes of zeros (0x00, not '0')

The file then continues with compLen of zlib compressed data, you decompress it with zlib's uncompress() function

XML Schema

First, there is a standard XML declaration, followed by an SMD element with 2 attributes:

Version="1" (currently the only defined version)
URL=" (this URL, so people can easily find this information)

Under SMD, there is an Info element with these 2 attributes:

NumSongs="X" (the number of songs listed in the XML)
TotalLength="Y" (the combined number of seconds of the files in the playlist)

Next under SMD is a Songs element, which has one or more Song sub-elements representing the individual songs.

Each Song element has several keys describing the song, most are self-explanatory but there are 2 that I should document.

ID="X" - This is a CRC32 of the full path and filename of the song, it serves as a unique identifier for the song. On Win32, the full path and filename is converted to lowercase before CRCing it.
SongLen="Y" - The length in seconds of the song.
mTime="Z" (the last modification time of the file, ie. st_mtime from a stat() call)
