I tried adding a file from within an archive to the playlist, assuming it would work, but amarok crashed. Reproducible as follows:

1) Create a ZIP file with some MP3s in it.
2) Fire-up konqueror and go to URL zip:/path/to/zipfile
3) Fire-up amarok and configure it to use gstreamer
4) Drag and drop MP3s from konqi to the amarok playlist
5) Press "Play" to start playing
6) Amarok crashes

Xine engine simply refuses to play, so it's probably gstreamer being handed a zip:/... URL and not knowing what to do with it?

Anyway it would be nice to allow use of any local KIO-slave both for the playlist as well as for the music collection. I am filing a separate bug (wishlist) describing what I was hoping for.

P.S. Hey, you guys have spoiled with this superb music player so now we want EVERYTHING!!! :-)
