12 Oct. 2009: Sorry, this service is down until I have a chance to update it.

Please note: I have not tested the name documents this program generates with either Pro Tools or Digital Performer (I use Logic). I believe the files do validate against the DTD. If you have trouble using them, please feel free to let me know, but I might not be able to help much.

Here’s the source.
