Then it's not only my machine where it doesn't compile :-)
If nobody is using it or working on it, why not 'svn rm' it?

Nothing wrong with the xml format. At least for local storage.
Just had the following idea: Suppose you have a server in your house
that runs mythbackend (and therefore MySQL) and stores the music. The
already running mysql server could be a nice way for several RB
clients to manage one single music database.
I believe you can already do that with amarok.
