Interesting ... I did not expect that free downloads from last.fm work without logging in, or without having an account at all. I wonder if this intentional or just a loophole. :) But I'm not sure if remote MP3s in playlists really are a good idea. Keep in mind that every time you play that playlist, every song has to be downloaded in real time, over and over again. That's quite a waste of internet bandwidth, and the owner of the server you are downloading from might even have to pay for it. (I had that case once when someone's Winamp downloaded one of my radio shows again and again until I finally kicked him out with an HTTP 403 status, assuming that he must have accidentally had his office PC on repeat when he left for the weekend. A few minutes later I received an email from a guy who apologized a lot and no, it was not by mistake, he actually liked it so much that he had played it on repeat the whole day. :D But he had not been aware that he was repeatedly pulling it from my server.) Can't you just download the files and play them locally? -- usch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ usch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33389 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72619 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
