I wrote this for north country public radio station. Besides their main station they also broadcast "public radio remix", a new experimental radio station. Remix radio had no way to showing what had previously been played or what was coming up next. My job was to write a playlist that grabs the XML files off of remix radio's server, caches them, parses them, and passes them to a pretty javascript playlist.
The first user every day "gets" to wait while it finishes caching, (if that's you: sorry!) I originally designed this caching to be a chron job but there were some server complications.
This playlist is now being used on NCPR's live Remix Radio site
