How to rename a bookmarked remote Link in the playlist folder?

Hello

I want to bookmark my favourite ones of the thousands of Shoutcast Streams.
(Amarok 1.4.7 using KDE 3.5.7 on Debian unstable/sid)

When I drag & drop the currently playing one in my normal playlist folder it ends up with a name like "1073" and a click on
"Edit Track Information" in the context menu gives "Track information not available for remote media". So no change to rename it.

Also dragging the original shoutcast stream does not work at all, I can only drag the currently playing one which resolves to
e.g. "http://scfire-nyk-aa01.stream.aol.com:80/stream/1073" (hence the "1073" as playlist entry name) instead of the original
"http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast-playlist.pls?rn=4869&file=filename.pls"
The difference is that the original shoutcast url links to about 16 different servers with different IP+port which would be preferable
in case the aol.com one is currently unreachable.

Any ideas?

bye,
