I was able to get my myth recordings and music to play on the mp115 with the 
uShare server.  That is encouraging... at least I know it can be done.  
Unfortunately I don't know yet what it doesn't like about the myth server.  
It appears the server never gets the "getRecording" request so I suppose 
there is something in the description XML that the mp115 cannot parse.

I also think there may be some problems in processing '&' in titles.  I saw 
some error messages for "Law & Order".  I'll keep poking around whenever I 
can take the backend offline for a few hours.

In the meantime I added a little code to ushare to get title info from the 
database.  Not as nice as Myth's but more reasonable than file names.
