You need to use DOM api.

Location: http://www.aaa.com/music/playtrack.php?playlist=06.O.Manasa.mp3.mp3|06.O.Manasa.mp3.mp3 it has .mp3.mp3 is it correct,

why do use echo #

echo "<trackList>";
foreach ( $songs as $key=>$value){
echo "<track>";
echo "<location>".$value."</location>";
echo "</track>";

echo "</trackList>";

, are display playlist. if you want to store your playinglist in xml use fwrite().

The easiest way would be to use XmlWriter lib, put your data in an assoc arrray (in this example $data) and use code below

$xml = new XmlWriter();
$xml->openMemory();
$xml->startDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');
$xml->startElement('root');
write($xml, $data);
$xml->endElement();
echo $xml->outputMemory(true);

function write(XMLWriter $xml, $data) {
  foreach($data as $key => $value) {
    if(is_array($value)) {
      $xml->startElement($key);
      write($xml, $value);
      $xml->endElement();
      continue;
    }
    $xml->writeElement($key, $value);
  }
}
