Description
I think it looks a little odd to have the XSPF track creator set to $node->name, which is the drupal username that's the author of the node.
Looking at http://www.xspf.org/quickstart/, it suggests that creator in playlist could be the node author, whereas creator in track should be the artist. I don't know if this can be pulled from the MP3 file in case of nodes with file attachments or CCK audio fields, but with audio module nodes it's certainly possible.

Yeah, you have a good point. I set it this way by default as most people don't have author/artist info for their files. However, with the new XSPF setup you can actually modify this with:
<?phpfunction MODULE_xspf_playlist_item_alter (&$item, $node, $url, $thumb, $meta) {
// your creator data
_xspf_playlist_item_set_value($item, 'creator', $value);
?>
Which I think should address your concerns, no?
