iTunes .xml files have been converted to Edge HTML and now can't be imported by the sonos app

I have been using Sonos controller to play my iTunes playlists on Sonos.  I’ve been using it for over two years.  Suddenly only a handful of old playlists (some not even on iTunes at this time)  are showing in Sonos music library.  None of my recent playlists show up when I update the music library.  After looking for solutions, I tried to export the .xml file for the playlist BUT the .xml files are now showing up as Microsoft Edge html files.  Is that why Sonos does not recognize them???  The path to the iTunes music folder is correct but the playlist and library files in that folder are html not xml.  If I open the file in notepad it looks like the correct .xml file but will not save as an xml file.  Is there anyway to fix this and get my playlists back on Sonos???  Thanks

Hello ANRM

I solved it a different way than Bruce suggested.  It wasn’t that Sonos wasn’t reading the HTML correctly.  iTunes on my new machine was looking for the ITL file in the iTunes folder on the desktop. (upon loading iTunes on the new computer, it created a new ITL on the desktop - of course that new ITL had no info in it)  I had my original ITL on the external drive with the libraries.  Once I realized this, I just copied the ITL from the external drive and placed it in the iTunes folder on the desktop and it worked fine.  Hope this helps you.
