Barring fancy complicated synchronization support (see #17), or maybe in addition to it, being able to broadcast what you're listening to by way of a streaming server like Shoutcast, Icecast, or something homebrew. This sidesteps the problem, mentioned in #17, of two computers being, conceptually, the same collection. It's also likely GStreamer already has something to interact with Shoutcast/Icecast.

With MB integration, it should be possible to provide much nicer metadata for streaming clients than would otherwise be possible, too!
