In lieu of one like it, I'm justdropping into say that I use sshfs and dired for this, and it workswell.Yeah, same here, sftp (sshfs) is a great filesystem protocol,been using it instead of nfs/smb/cifs for more than a decade now,and would highly recommend to check it out instead.Thanks for the suggestion. I did think of sshfs, but it has an extra dependency on the mount points. When you have a native playlist you want to load on Emms on multiple machines, you have to make sure to mount the fs on all client machines, and all mount points are the same. And to change the mount points you'll have to change on all client machines and in the native playlist. By contrast playing directly over ssh (probably with tramp) has no spurious dependencies like this.
By tramp I mean external players ;)
