Great.  I'll download that tonight.  Look forward to trying it out.

Funny you should mention that.  :)  Haven't had much time to look at any 
actual plugins, but the version of Rhythmbox in Fedora Core 6 Test 3 
(released this week) now handles m3u-based playlists correctly.  I've got 
some more testing to do, but I think we could at least include some 
default playlists in FC6.  Nothing certain yet, but it's possible.

Given this news, I have two questions:

1. What tag-based streams would you recommend?

2. If we ship Jamendo turned on in Rhythmbox by default in FC6, and if we 
advertise this fact, will your servers be able to deliver the streams?  
How many users can you stream music to simultaneously?
