Songbird iTunes importer, xml file, help with changing pathnames


[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
Well I have gotten songbird to import my library from iTunes using the xml file. Ratings and playlists are intact. However I need help changing the pathnames, I do not know what to change them to that Songbird will recognize. Here is an original path example...

<key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/F:/My%20Music/iTunes/iTunes%20Music/Compilations/Nirvana/10%20Pennyroyal%20Tea.mp3</string>

I am already using the find replace command in gedit.

For example I found this script on...

perl -pi -e 's/file\:\/\/localhost\/E\:\//\/media\//g' /tmp/iTunes\ Music\ Library.xml
echo "Use File>Import Library to import the library (found at /tmp/iTunes Music Library)";

but do not know how to modify it. Thanks for your help.
