Can anyone clarify if the WWWAUDIOFILE field (URL of the actual MP3 file) is read by **any** major players, programs or services.

I'm thinking about tagging the collection of OC ReMix with the URL each ReMix is located at, e.g. [http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02269/)](http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02269/)).

But (if I remember correctly), this field has fallen out of use for security reasons (e.g. someone embeds a malware URL into that field).

Is there any point at all to using this field? Even if there is no longer, was there any point when this field was read/displayed/used in any notable interface? It seems like no, as far as a simple Google search may indicate: [http://www.google.com/search?q=%22wwwaudiofile%22+mp3](http://www.google.com/search?q=%22wwwaudiofile%22+mp3)

Thanks for anyone who has any insight!

as i guess you've seen over there, winamp seemingly supports it. maybe this helps too:

so i'm thinking something like %WWW% maybe?
