Nonlocal files in the Amarok music collection

[Marko Vojinovic]

Hi everyone! :-)

I have already asked this on the fedora list, but since Amarok is essentially 
a KDE product, maybe I can find an answer on this list... :-)

What I want is to build a music collection database in Amarok, where music is 
not on the local hard drive, but on a remote http server. In other words, I 
want to put entries like "http://www.server.com/file.mp3" into my Amarok 
collection (so that I can build playlists, play the files, and so on).

I do not want to implement an audio streaming service (like ampache) on the 
server side, I just want remote file entries in the local client database.

Is this possible to do in Amarok? If yes, how? If not, why not? Would you 
consider it a useful feature?

The point is that I want to keep the music files off the local hard disk.

I'd appreciate any suggestions. :-)

Best. :-)
Marko
