I have a VLC playlist (.xspf) of over a 100 songs all scattered all over my computer. I'm looking for a way to save this playlist and all it's songs to another folder - flash drive, external drive or just a different location in my computer. How can I do this?

EDIT

The xspf playlist is in XML and is such a format:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<playlist xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/" xmlns:vlc="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/ns/0/" version="1">
    <title>Playlist</title>
    <trackList>
        <track>
            <location>file:///home/subroot/Music/3%20Days%20Grace%20-%20Wake%20Up.mp3</location>
            <title>Wake Up</title>
            <creator>3 Days Grace</creator>
            <album>Three Days Grace</album>
            <trackNum>10</trackNum>
            <annotation> </annotation>
            <duration>206036</duration>
            <extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0">
                <vlc:id>0</vlc:id>
            </extension>
        </track>
        .
        . [Many more tracks here]
        .
        </trackList>
    <extension application="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/0">
            <vlc:item tid="0"/>
            .
            . [Other id's here]
            .
    </extension>
</playlist>
