  I do, but it doesn't seem directly applicable to this case. It's similar, but it's better suited to torrents and things like that.

    Providing enough metadata to recognize the file different ways, is exactly what you're doing. Magnet already does this. > it's better suited to torrents and things like that. I don't understand what you mean by this.

      It's more suited to applications that require a URI for a single file. I don't see how it can be applied here, or what benefit it has over a simple list.

Winamp supported playlists containing http urls. If it supported magnet urls you would have every feature of your proposal and tooling to build other applications on. You could build this in about an hour and see a portable durable playlist. * https://github.com/captbaritone/winamp2-js https://github.com/captbaritone/winamp2-js * https://github.com/feross/webtorrent https://github.com/feross/webtorrent
