If you want to write the code, feel free. I'm guessing that no-one else 
has done this so far because it would a) be quite a lot of work to start 
with and b) require quite a lot of work on an ongoing basis to maintain 
it every time MySpace changes their layout.

Plus, once you support it people start complaining every time it's 
broken, and given that it's likely to break often, the stress levels add 
up pretty rapidly.... Give me protocols with a stable API, and I'll do 
it, but screen scraping is a bugger to maintain.
