Re: today's changes...

I get it now. Can you file a bug on sourceforge for this so
it doesn't get lost?

In essence, yes. Concrete (and real) example:

Fairly nontechnical SliMP3 owner (can figure out how to install

ActiveState Perl and get the server to autostart on login on an

NT box, understands the concept of creating textfiles for
playlists,

but would rather spend more time listening than dealing with

playlist collection) listens to Live365 quite a bit. Wants
to

use the SliMP3 as a "tuner/receiver" to listen to lots
of

different Live365 (or shout/icecast, or any other MP3 streaming

service) streams.

Current reality: User must find appropriate URL for Live365
station,

create text file for .pls, cut and paste URL into textfile,
remembering

to massage the URL appropriately (s/stations/play).

Proposed solution: Building on your browser interface, provide a
short

form interface as part of the interface that might have the
following

fields:

Filename: (could be auto-generated, though)

Name for station:

Station URL:

Stream type: (*) Live365

( ) Shout/Icecast

( ) Foo

[ Add ] [ Reset ]

The user could then find the appropriate URL, fill in the form,
and

have the new stream added to the streams available for playing on

the SliMP3.
