Jim's example prints fields 1, 2, and 3, but you want fields 1,
2, and 4. I also had to tell awk to use a carriage-return as the
newline instead of linefeed when reading in the file. My version
with extraneous use of cat is:

  cat itunes-export-file \
  | awk '{FS="\t";RS="\r";printf("\"%s\" %s %s\n", $1, $2, $4)}'

Since XML was brought up, does anyone want to try some
programming golf with their favorite language and XML library?
