actually the feed might be enough because it is based on tags and
other goodies. The basic syntax is:

[root_url]/[virtual_root]/feed/[feed_type]/[tag_list]

where tag list is a space delimited list of tags to search for.

http://ccmixter.org/media/feed/rss/editorial_pick+funky

http://ccmixter.org/crammed/feed/rss/contest_source+crammed

In fact the tag list can be a user's login name:

http://ccmixter.org/media/feed/rss/victor

For text based searches you can use the Sample API which also returns
rss feeds (more info here:
http://ccmixter.org/media/viewfile/pool_api_doc.xml )

Let me know if that doesn't answer your question...
