Add File Path to Existing mp3 file contra Upload (integrated with Views) [#1937780]

Is it possible to add file path to an existing .mp3 file on my server instead of uploading a .mp3 file? Right now my setup is as follows:

Content Type: Audio
[field_mp3_file_upload] -- File upload field for .mp3 files.

There will be roughly 40 entries of this content type.

The page with all the audio files is displayed as a view and has to stay this way, because I need to have Exposed filters so users can filter content based on category.

So right now the field [field_mp3_file_upload] is added as a field, and it's format is "Mp3 player default" in Views.

This works great, but I want to be able to not have to upload the .mp3 files and instead just add a url to an exisiting mp3 in my content type, and then get this to display using Views.

Any ideas?

I ran into this issue with my podcast. My problem was I couldn't upload files through the interface because of server constraints. What I ended up doing was uploading the file through sftp and then using filefield_sources to select the file. Hit me up in IRC if you need more information.
