Similar to the writer of this thread. I think having a generic XML import function, that imports an XML in the same format that you listal exports it in, would be a good plan. If you could import an XML that didn't have ASIN information (and look up if it had an ASIN) that would be even better. I see it working as follows:
I select my XML file and hit "import"
I get a list of what it is going to add (things which are not in the listal database could be a different colour) - I can then go through the list fixing any mistakes that the import has made before I click "Add to collection".
I reckon they'd be enough people that'd be prepared to write conversions from other file formats - I'd probably write one that generated an XML from the list of folders I have MP3 in on my PC.
Cheers,
John

It would be far too slow to to search for close matches to titles entered especially if a large number of titles were imported. It would print out a list of titles not found at the end so they could be manually searched for.
