I know its been a while since this discussion started, but I'm only now
getting through the emails.

i would also use it for this case. when i was working on the info
editor, i allowed url types to be edited since it is nice to add info to
it for the playlist interface. this does add an item into the emms
cache, but there isn't anything to display this as a track in the
browser.

in this case i suppose it wouldn't need a new property for the track, it
would just use the default emms info tags. it could be useful to add an
alternative set of tags for urls if that makes sense.

Agreed, I think url track types could have their own info function.
