Проигрывание Mp3 через Http

Привет всем. Пишу прогу на python для прослушки записей. Причем эти записи храняться на удаленном компе.
К этим записям есть доступ по http вида http://site:8888/file.mp3.
Программа пока умеет играть локальные файлы типа "/home/user/Desktop/test.mp3"
как научить ее играть по http://site:8888/file.mp3

Ниже пример с куском из моей программы:
