I had mp3act running jukebox mode before the MythWeb integration. I'm  
not sure why it was implemented without it. Probably because of the  
dependencies of other players in order to use it. Hacking it back in  
shouldn't be too much trouble, I wouldn't think. for now, I run a  
separate instances of mp3act on the same set of music files. Probably  
not the best way to approach this. :)
