Hello,
First off, let me apologize for the size of this patch. I started out with
a few changes...and it quickly grew. I hope this doesn't rub anyone wrong,
or keep it from getting accepted. - I had to gzip the patch because it was
just over the 40k size limit for the mailing list.

With that out of the way, let me explain what my patch does.

1. Adds the ability to search through your music collection. This includes
an advanced search link to filter what you want to search (Artist, Title,
or Album)

2. Adds the ability to Browse the collection by Artist, Album, Title, or
Genre. Browsing is context aware: browsing Artists gives you total
songs/albums by each artist, browsing albums gives you total
tracks/playing time for each album.

3. Adds configurable "Download" link to each song. Config allows you to
enable/disable this, as well as specify download url (incase the files are
on a different physical server)

4. Adds a special "Album" view when selecting an album. This view gives
total playing time, adds a stream link (configurable), and allows for
displaying of album covers, including support for scripts that
auto-downloading the covers. IThis has been tested with a script mention
in the new config.

5. Adds "playlist" view, similar to "Album" view which displays the
playlist contents, total playing time, and a (configurable) stream link.

6. The "stream" link is done by generating "on-the-fly" an m3u file, and
pushing it out. The m3u then fetches the mp3s via http. MY cable provider
throttles my upload speed, and even throttled, I have plenty of bandwidth
to sustain multiple streams.

I also plan on adding more playlist functionality, i.e. create playlists,
and edit them. but I decided not to keep going as the code is already
quite extensive.

Anyone interested in "beta" testing my code can see it here:

For obvious reasons, I have disabled the stream, and download links, as
well as anything not related to mythmusic.

Your (constructive) criticism is welcome.
