Streaming parser for the contents of iTunes Library XML files. Supports

retrieving the complete library track listing, but playlist listings *aren't

complete yet*.

Should be useful for either ditching iTunes programatically or at least mucking

around with its data.

## Usage ##

[![itunes-library-stream](https://nodei.co/npm/itunes-library-stream.png?mini=true)](https://nodei.co/npm/itunes-library-stream)

### `itunes.createTrackStream()` ###

Creates a transform stream which takes raw XML data and spits out JSON objects

for each discovered track.

``` javascript

var itunes = require('itunes-library-stream')

var userhome = require('userhome')

var path = require('path')

var fs = require('fs')

// If you're not running OSX, update this

// to point to the correct file in your

// iTunes Library folder.

var location = path.resolve(userhome()

  , 'Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Library.xml'

)

fs.createReadStream(location)

  .pipe(itunes.createTrackStream())

  .on('data', function(data) {

    console.log('[' + data.Artist + '] ' + data.Name)

  })

```
