Davep,

that's what I meant. They don't actually stream, they play the files on
your server. There's not a big difference if you do it right and it has
the potential to conserve some power.
However, this still means you cannot connect an iPhone directly to the
SC mp3-stream since this is a stream, not a file and you cannot play
files since SC does not allow byte range requests, otherwise you would
have access, e.g. through "Songinfo" which gives you a link to download
files. If you want "streaming", vote for the bug ;-) I would know how to
make playlists play, then...
