My iTunes library becomes corrupt about once a month and I have to restore the library from the xml file. I typically export my library.xml file daily. How can I do this with the latest iTunes app?

If you want to back up your library on a daily basis, it is far better to save the .itl file rather than creating an .xml file. Just look for "iTunes Library.itl" since that file is your library -- back that up religiously, and if you need to recover you simply replace the .itl file with the backed up copy.
Even if you prefer to have an .xml file, iTunes automatically creates one each time you make any changes. Look for "iTunes Library.xml", but the .itl file is much easier (and probably more reliable) since you don't have to "import" it, just replace your corrupted .itl file with the backed up copy.
I'm by no means sure but the advice I've had so far suggests it just reads from the xml file.
I originally had 2 xml files so deleted one (then both) and reset Sonos but still no luck.

Thanks for trying!
Does anybody have any other thoughts? I'm a bit puzzled by it now.
Thanks.
