To see what I'm trying to accomplish, check out this thread on cc-mixter:
http://ccmixter.org/forum/viewtopic.php?forum=2&showtopic=87&lastpost=true

What I want to do is have the screen scraper on Webjay pick up metadata 
for songs on CC-Mixter (and elsewhere).  The simplest way to do this is to 
fetch metadata from CC RDF.

So let's say there's an input page:
http://ccmixter.org/tags/scratching

And a processor:
http://webjay.org/playthispage?url=http://ccmixter.org/tags/scratching

...the output should have the artist name and whatnot as they were in the 
RDF.

Ah, yes.  Thanks.
