Well, personally I prefer a web interface over picking music with a 
remote control.  I realize that I can ssh into the mythbox and run 
mplayer, but I just find it a bit strange that with all the impressive 
looking streaming web apps that seem to be out there, I can't find a 
single one that has an option of sending the files to mplayer instead 
of streaming them.
