  I think this is new :)

  Not a bad idea, but I have a hard time wondering how it would be
 useful.  I can't imagine that any player would read the RSS file,
 so what you're doing is allowing an RSS agregator to view the songs
 and that isn't such a useful step up from allowing a web browser to
 view the songs.

  Unless I'm missing something?

  Adding a feed of the most recent media, say, I could see as being
 vaguely useful ..

  It would be trivial to write a plugin to sort the media by date of
 addition and return an RSS feed - but I'm not sure how useful it would
 be.

  Patch welcome ;)

  Failing that give me a few weeks and I'll try to add it myself.  Low
 priority though.  (Having said that I've been very lax on working on
 the code for a while.)
