My experience is that if you just want to stream content from a web server,
there won't be nice and neat transitions between your files.  If you have
an M3U like so:

http://www.myserver.com/content/songintro.mp3
http://www.myserver.com/content/song.mp3

And play that in your player of choice, my experience is that the player
will buffer and play the intro, *then* buffer and play the song.  So
there'll be a gap whilst the song is being buffered, after the intro.  Not
likely to be the result you're looking for.
