ITL (iTunes Library) Format

I´m developing a Java solution for manage an iTunes Library (ITL file). The ITL format is a propietary one. I'm looking for an implementation or a documentation about ITL format but Google can't find anything useful.

Does anyone have experience about that? Where to find more information?

Thanks in advance.

There is an open source project called titl that sounds exactly what you're looking for.

The repository is here: https://github.com/josephw/titl

iTunes has an api that you can use to inform iTunes of changes without having to modifying the iTunes ITL file directly. On OSX you can use Applescript, on Windows a DLL that Ive manipulate using Jacob and Java

Most of the time, Apple folks uses preferences list format (or its XML counterpart). As an example, it is the case for iPoho Library file. I have had success parsing this file using commons configuration in the past. Maybe you could try it.
