It should anyways.

What is a separate application? That is a distribution issue. What is
important is that they are separate problems.

An application that works like Napster.

I feel a little bit of "feature creep" over that. IMHO We don't have
searching with binary key closeness down well enough to go running off on
tangents like this quite yet. If you do want to code it, I hope that you
take my advice and keep it separate from the main code for now (obviously
sharing classes is good).
