Cloud Providers API

Registered by Danielle Foré

Inspired by the WIP cloud providers API for Files: https://csorianognome.wordpress.com/2015/07/07/cloud-providers/

We should create a streaming providers API for Music that would allow the creation of POA plugins for services like Soundcloud and Jamendo. In this way, a user could sign into POA and have their streaming service tracks available as part of their regular music library. For developers, this means that they can create any number of POA/Music plugins without having to alter the code of either.

The API should cover:
* Song metadata necessary for displaying the track like artist, title, album, artwork, etc
* A download link (if available)
* The provider's logo (Soundcloud for example requires attribution to use their streaming API: https://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/guide#playing)
