Open URL

Menu Command: File | Open URL

Use the Open URL window to open a remote file on a website. An active network connection is required. The file must have a finite duration. If a stream is opened, the program can never finish opening the file.

The URL is similar to a website address and must begin with the protocol, followed by the website, followed by the file's location, such as "http://www.somewhere.com/somefolder/somefile.mp3". Only enter URLs of trusted websites. Always be vigilant when accessing any remote content.

This command may not be present on Windows XP or earlier.
