Thank you Myriam, but I still can't find it. Let me tell you step by step what 
I tried. To be on the safe side, I erased all Amarok configuration files in 
~/.kde.
- I add a stream (Playlist -> Add Stream)
- Select the stream in the right pane.
- Click the bookmark icon above the right pane -> Bookmark this location.
- The Bookmark Manager now has a new bookmark called 'Default Layout'.
- I then erase the stream from the playlist with the 'Clear Playlist' button.
- Now clicking the bookmark 'Default Layout' does nothing. The stream URL is 
gone from Amarok.

Same here.

I see that, but it only bookmarks 'locations within Amarok'. Now I only want 
something simple, and that is adding a list of stream locations to Amarok, so 
I don't have to look them up later.

So, I tried adding the http://... url to the Bookmark Manager. You can add 
those, but they are not visible and clicking them within the Bookmark Manager 
yields no results.
Looks like: Name | Type (http) | URL (http://blablabla.mp3)

I used that version. In the left pane, there are 'Music Sources':
- Local Music
- Internet (I was expecting stream URLs here)
- Playlists
- Files
- Podcasts
