Stream content from multiple computers onto the same account

Is this possible?

I have a few different friends who we all want to share our music library but with using the same subsonic account, if this makes sense?

SO basically, where it asks for the music folder location in settings, is there a way my two friends could add their music directories so all of our music is loaded on the same screen?

I could think of a few ways to accomplish this. However, I don't think any built-in Subsonic features could do this.

If you're using Linux, you could use a handy tool called "sshfs". Basically, it will mount a network SSH server path as a local directory.
If you're using Windows, then fileshares would work I imagine... \\computer\music\

However if your friend's collections are not INSIDE your house, then every time someone streamed a song, your Subsonic box would first download the song, then upload it. That would result in a massive waste of bandwidth.

My best suggestion is to find a big hard drive or set up a RAID, and give your friends FTP or SFTP access to your Subsonic server and tell them to upload their music to one spot.

Unless you're on a local area network, shares from different computers are impractical.
