I wasn't thinking about tying it to MythWeb at all. More like a  
social networking app hosted somewhere else entirely. Upload your  
MythStream configs, update and share them with people who have  
similar music tastes. Since MythStream can load web-accessible lists,  
point to your "favorites" and load up what you want to listen to. It  
would be largely manual at first but MythStream could be modified to  
subscribe to a particular account and parse your list of favorites,  
then offer them to load as storages.
