I was thinking today, it would be nice to play tracks from the
soundcloud.com service from MPD. Given the recent despotify patches I
thought this could be implemented as an input plugin. However I looked
at the soundcloud api, and it seems all you really need to do is parse
some JSON to get the streaming url for the soundcloud track you want,
and add that to the playlist. So it probably could be done all
client-side. As exciting as submitting patches is, I think keeping
clutter out of MPD is a good thing. Besides, who knows how long these
web services will be around anyway?

Thoughts?
