...after hearing a few references to Magnatunes here, I decided
        to check it out.  Cool idea, surprisingly good music.  I was
        about to work on parsing their WWW pages to extra playlists when
        I realized _they'd already done the hard work_ and supply
        xml/csv lists of all their music.  Wow.

        Parsing these lists and creating groups of related playlists is
        fairly easy (I just did it for a much grosser radio1234 file),
        but I figured I'd see if anyone else has already tried this.
        So - anyone played with Magnatunes and automatic playlist
        generation?


        One thing that seems to be missing from m3u and pls formats is
        the ability to have comments or information about the tracks.
        Sure, I can crank out 100s of playlists, even sort them by
        genre, but that's not as handy is understanding that "Phebe
        Craig and Katherine Westine" feature harpsichord duets and not
        the Ukranian Children's Choir.  Try fitting that on the slim
        display...I just wonder if anyone has come up with a smart(er)
        way to do this.

        Thanks for listening, either way.
