Plus 4. iPeng has a "play URL" menu that comes up in various places.

When it's in NowPlaying you often already know artist and album name so you could put it in "[MUSICFOLDER]/DownloadedTracks/[ARTIST]/[ALBUM]/[Filename]" or "[MUSICFOLDER]/DownloadedTracks/Unknown Artist/[ALBUM]/[Filename]" if you only know the Album or in "[MUSICFOLDER]/DownloadedTracks/[ARTIST]/[Filename]" is you only know the artist. > > And the third question is what SBS version it would have to be > supported in, is it enough if 7.6 is supported > Definitely.

I have no idea. Somethign called ".mp3" could be a streaming source as well, couldn't it? The server HAS to know somewhere, doesn't it?
