Actually, yeah. I don't have time to tinker with this right now, but

There's a bit about it in the Hacking iPod and iTunes book [1], and I
wrote a bit on an RSS aggregator that prepares collections of iPod
notes for my Hacking Atom and RSS book [2] that I'll have coming out
this summer.

This sounds like it could be a very cool effort. I've got a *bit* of
experience with making linked iPod notes, via that RSS aggregator I
mentioned... so let me know if you need some help!
