Hi Romain, I actually thought of that, but what I really want to do is create streams by genre. I think a good way to deal with slow downloads might be to have a fallback playlist instead of a fallback single, where the fallback playlist is a small collection of local (and thus infallible) files.
I could do a fallback playlist, right? How do I do that?
