One thing I have wanted to do with mythmusic is control it via a web
interface.  I ave a computer on the same network and in the same room
as my myth setup.  I would love to be able to choose songs on the
other computer and have my mythbox play them.  I do all my scheduling
over the web instead of a frontend, I would like to do the same for my
music playing.
