Support the Add URL in the playlist

[Borewit]

Since we are talking about M3U list support, supporting URLs, I thought this one should be on the list of ToDo's as well.

While I think we can support it as an API, I don't think we can expose it to users, since 99.9% of URLs will not have the CORs setup in such a way that we can actually play them.

That's probably why it isn't there already. Nevertheless, I am going give you a PR as well. Maybe we can activate it with a switch. It is useful pushing the boundaries and testing.

if there was a server-component you could bypass CORS I think

Well I know from spidering my Linux User Group drupal page. The down-side is that you'd need to feature-flag it so that at least webamp.org wouldn't support.

People would have to host it themselves and knowingly turn on the feature, which would effectively download to a server, then forward (easy), or proxy / forward the stream (more difficult). Either way it eats RAM & CPU on a box someone has to pay for so maybe not the best experience.
