Right I think I'm starting to get there lol
I can now get this output
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<songs>
<song path="my_mp3s\" artist="Royksopp" title="02 - Poor Leno [jakatta Mix].mp3"/>
<song path="my_mp3s\" artist="Hayley Westenra" title="02-Never Say Goodbye.mp3"/>
<song path="my_mp3s\" artist="Michael Kamen" title="05 - Swamp.mp3"/>
<song path="my_mp3s\" artist="Michael Kamen" title="07 - Fire On Lake.mp3"/>
<song path="my_mp3s\" artist="Johnny Mathis" title="14 Johnny Mathis It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year.mp3"/>
</songs>

All I cannot get now is the mp3 after my mp3s - you know like this
<song path="my_mp3s\A song.mp3" artist="Johnny Mathis" title="14 Johnny Mathis It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year.mp3"/>
</songs>

I have a feeling this is just something small that I am missing now - I appreciate you taking time to help me Thanks
