Yes, thats what i mean.
The file is displayed in the library with the usual tags like album, genre etc
But its path points to
"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3cLKC6tfGg"
instead of
"C:\Music\finame.mp3"
There are ways to get the uri to the .flv- file from a YoutubeLink. SongBird could extract the Music- Data from the .flv- File and play it.
There could be Plugin- Support to manage other services like Dailymotion or GoogleVideo.
(They all got .flv- files and the Plugin just needs a method to extract the flv- link from a given Uri) -

Support online services like Youtube, Dailymotion, MyVideo etcWhat about adding a Pluginsystem which allows to play songs directly from streaming services like YouTube, Dailymotion etc
There will be no need to Download the Song or something like this. A Song has a URI which describes where the song is located. If a user wants to play it, it will be streamed.
There are a lot of advantages using this system:
- Less disc usage (you just need to save the URI along with some tags instead of the whole music- file)
- Easy sharing (you do not need to copy a huge file)
- Portable (You can play your library wherever you got internet- access)
These are just a few advantages such a system would bring with it... Would be nice to get something like this integrated in a next release of songbird...
