If you're wondering what personal and private information is in "iTunes Music Library.xml", couldn't you open it up and look for yourself?
"What happens if a bunch of users have information in that file that they have pirated songs and the service gets a subpoena to disclose all xml files?"
Whoa, with absolutely zero knowledge of the .xml file, you just jumped 100 steps ahead to some hypothetical situation where this website will incriminate its users. Loosen up your tinfoil hat a little bit...
You're asking a ton of questions about a service that is obviously just starting out, and is probably not feature complete yet. Did you actually use the site, and can you provide any comments on how well the site actually does what it advertises? If not, your comment just seems like a lot of bikeshedding:

- j_s 14y agoYes, droithomme (GP), please do not share your thoughts on a project which was listed here specifically for you to do so. On second thought, thanks for bringing up your concerns. It certainly seems that in order for this tool to become a success for users like you it will have to deal with these types of issues carefully. Edit to add: I want to stress the near infinite value that the HN crowd brings to the table whatever they say about any new site. Considering the vast majority of passers by even on HN will not comment at all, anything discouraging anyone from doing so seems to be more damaging than any negative comment.
