Well, at the moment I'm just putting my stuff in a web dir along with
a generated m3u file (sed is great).

I would *really* like to do something like that 9pod, and have some
convenient way to access the files remotely... I'll probably end up
using nfs, unless somebody can help me figure out a good way to do an
"import" style mount from non-Plan 9 boxes (a little program on a
flash stick?). Any 9pod-like device would of course be able to do
"import", and that would be really great if I just had access to some
suitable hardware.
