took me about 2 minutes to write a php function to return a m3u list
of the current mythmusic page.
With some javascript and a little bit of AJAX (I like pear::HTML_AJAX
for php) you could have a pretty sweet playlist editor. I do suck at
designing interfaces however so if someone makes something static I
could put some brains to it,

And while we're at it redo the filtering for the music lists.
