I like the ideas you have in your project but I wonder if you could expand
its functionality easily to allow exporting of the playlist(s) to a script
that allows a cheapie mp3 player (appears as an external USB drive) to be
synced.

That would work wonders on WAF as the missus could then choose all her
favourite music to play on a frontend (using either MM or your app) and
have exactly the same on her mp3 player :-)

Seems like a nice idea to add to MM anyway provided the interface is
flexible enough to allow several sync methods depending on the player...
