I trim all of my songs to cut out the empty time at the end when there is nothing playing. The iTunes library XML file allows you to see each song and the stop time.

I have about 25,000 songs in my library I’m trying to find the remaining songs (171) that haven’t been trimmed.

I can get a count of how many have been trimmed by searching the XML for a count of the term “stop time” and then from iTunes get a count of the number of songs in the library. Then find the difference.

In iTunes I’ve been going one by one to see which I haven’t trimmed. I can’t see it in a column so I have to have a window open for each and keep hitting next.

Just trying to think of a faster way to see the names of the songs instead of doing it this way Is there a way to search the XML for a key that doesn't have a stop time? if it doesn't, the "stop time" key won't be listed.
