Unfortunately with XMMS you can't just put the pls file into "Add URL" like in Winamp. If you have VLC, you can go to "File -> Open Network Stream" and paste the pls directly into that. If you want to use mplayer, do as Andreas said and open the pls file and write down the URL and port...then mplayer should have no problem playing that. -Mark --=20 GnuPG Public Key: http://www.mkproductions.org/mk_pubkey.asc Internet Radio: Party107 (Trance/Electronic) - http://www.party107.com Rock 101.9 The Edge (Rock) - http://www.rock1019.net IRC: MIXXnet IRC Network - irc.mixxnet.net (Nick: MIXX941) --------------enig8604B378B0A92CB460A13B71 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFD4TP3lH2ybcmj7I8RAhdpAKC+ppz+1XJZ9jFVL2FnVDxV6yjXAQCg4VYs u8AcJcE/gkQrrwWGUKoAJL4= =UYRW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig8604B378B0A92CB460A13B71--
