Yes I meant to let music-app play it (isn't that what music:///... should
do?)
I'm referring to this:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/URLDispatcher
This music-service sounds good.

Yes to all. I meant the url-dispatcher tool from the url-dispatcher-tools
package. I tried it from the terminal but it doesn't react nor give
feadback for a music file. Apparently url-dispatcher
settings:///system/wifi does work. I have touch-coreapps installed. It's
also missing manpages and parsing -h or --help to it doesn't reveal much
ether.

Anyhow. I'd just use a Audio component for now and let the linking to an
epub app rest till when this url thing is implemented.

Thanks
