hello -
great work on cog! does it support streaming m3u files? i've tried openning playlists from archive.org in cog, but they don't seem to work.
if this isn't currently supported, is it planned for a future release?
thx!

Streaming support is extremely limited. Only vorbis and mp3 files have been tested, and they must have the correct file extension. In the future, I'm hoping to add mime-type support so it doesn't need the extension.
any improvements slated for v 0.7? streaming is the only thing i still need to use itunes for. 
Well, reading the mime-types is basically it. Dunno if it's a 0.07 thing or not though. It's a close call. If anything, it's definitely 0.08.
this should really be a 0.07 thing imo... Saying that Cog supports streaming when it can't handle (or at least present an error message) is a bit misleading.
I was considering ripping it out for the release, but figured something is better than nothing.
Hmm...any ideas on how an error message would manifest? I'd prefer to avoid alerts, and it'd be nice to have something that could be used for other errors too.
play a sound then stick the error message where the song title would be? maybe have a bigger text field underneath the title/artist then when Cog encounters an error, clear the current track info and populate the error field.
Otherwise I'd put a short message at the bottom of the playlist where the total duration is, just left aligned. It could even be a alink that, on click, displays a more detailed msg in an alert.
I think having the error message where the song title is would work. (Since the song can't be played, then there's no title to be displayed anyway.)
Having it at the bottom would kinda be an anomaly, since though the bottom bar of many apps serve as a Status Bar, Cog's bottom bar isn't one.
