share tracks and playlists via link
there were a few situations now when i wanted to show someone a certain track or playlist. maybe it would be a useful feature to be able to share a single track, a directory from the file browser or a playlist with someone using a link. maybe a small share button next to its name, like owncloud has it?
This will become quite easy once the API becomes RESTful. People will still need to be logged in, though, or the links will only yield a 403 Forbidden or something. There's also a long-standing plan to implement user-to-user recommendations, so I guess this is now the official issue for it. :crown:
Could we consider that the admin could choose a specific account to be used by the RESTful API in case the user is not authenticated?
Right now the REST-API is only in it's early stages and only sees slow development. The current API cannot be easily used for such a use-case, but it would be relatively easy to hack it in.
Such a hack however would not make it back into the devel branch, as I consider CM to be a platform to share a music collection with close friends and family. Feel free to prove me wrong. :)

I will dive into the code then :-).

So do I. Nevertheless, I prefer securing the network instead of the application. If my close friends and family can get access to my network via vpn (I am using tinc for instance), then I don't need another security level to share my music.

I believe that #532 should not have been closed since it represents an entirely different use case from this as well as an entirely different complexity level. What the other issue was requesting was passwordless access (which I want too since I pretty much don't care if someone steals my music files).
