Internet radio streams

[Soli]

By virtual folder i mean a folder named "internet radio", just like "composer" or "artist" folder. In a sense all the Minim folders are virtual except for the catalog structure

I find the playlist feature of minim or any other upnp servers too cumbersome to use.
The way that cantata works is that it supports the various internet streams by reading the xml files they provide, then parse the pls or m3u files they may or may not provide, and then send the direct url to the renderer. Think of it like the internet radio feature of iTunes, it works kinda the same way with the expanding/collapsing list of stations by location etc. In that way minimserver could support internet radio for all controller points and renderers. Minimserver would then even improve the native radio support of both the Linn and Minim streamers that only support tunein and require you to register an account and make a list of your favorite stations that their respective controller points lets you choose from.
