New Feature Request

Before using subsonic, I used Google Music (now Google Play). When picking the local folder for my music files to use with Subsonic, is there a way to use a website link instead of a folder location on the hard drive? It would be nice to point subsonic to my Google music link as Google continously add songs that I like (which of course are not on my local drive) and would I like to include all music when using Subsonic. I realize I could just download those to my my local folder on my PC but looking for a better way.

Interesting question. I've been thinking about testing using Skydrive and Dropbox just for fun as well. In Windows Subsonic doesn't like mapped drives but works well with network shares, so I suppose it'll be interesting to see if either or both can be defined as a network share.

Neat idea.

Not sure about skydrive, but with dropbox, it puts a folder on your desktop (or wherever you specify during initial setup), and you can point Subsonic to that folder by specifying the entire path - such as C:\Users\Desktop\Dropbox\Music; or D:\Path\To\Dropbox

With Linux it's a little easier because you can mount your music location under the /media or the /mnt folder using smb or cifs, then point to that mount location in Subsonic (This is the method I have used, since I'm running Subsonic on a Linux box, but all my music is on a Windows share.)
