What is there to solve on the KDE side?

In many Kaboodle wishes I've been pointed to these files.  Most contain 
only one URL, making them redundant.  The rest contain more than one url 
to the same server that supplied the list itself, meaning that server 
needs to have correct mime-type handling anyway, so that the playback 
itself will work!  In either case it's something for the server admin to 
fix.
