.xml file
I had that problem a while ago. I was copying a few hundred MP3s to my iTunes music library from my file server, and the server hard drive froze. iTunes just sat there, completely frozen. I force-quit it and when I opened it back up, the library was locked. Not knowing what else to do, I trashed the library file, went to iTunes, said import library, and selected the .xml file. Voila, after a few minutes of parsing the file, I had my library back.
iTunes constantly re-locks my library
This still occasionally happens to me. It's infuriating! About once every month, when I try to quit iTunes, it freezes. I have to force quit it TWICE. The first one doesn't work, but the second one finally quits iTunes. When I try to run iTunes again, it tells me that the library is locked. When I try to trash the Library, it tells me that it's in use. After logging out and in, I it remains "in use" so I cannot trash it, so I sudo rm -fr it to finally get rid of it.
iTunes constantly re-locks my library
As a general matter, the command 'lsof' is a good way to find out what processes are using which files. (It can certainly be non-obvious.)
