Yes, I have looked at both ampache and icecast (suggested by Mark Haney), and some other streaming servers. But the streaming server seems to be an overkill for my purposes. All I want is to put a "http://www.server.com/somefile.mp3"; into the Amarok collection (local database, remote files), so that I can play it. A streaming server would require some work in installation/setup on the server, which I am not willing to do. I would prefer the client-only solution, if there is one, since I expect it to be much simpler (both conceptually and in practice). Thanks for the thoughts, though! :-) Best, :-) Marko -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
