Our links include the suffix /listen.pls on them.
The problem is that some PCs are set up to recognize that .pls
file type and some are not. Here's how to get your PC to recognize
the .pls file type and how to get it to open Winamp and tune
in to our broadcasts...
1. In Windows, open My Computer
2. In My Computer, click "Tools" at the top then choose
"Folder Options..."
3. Click the "File Types" tab at the top
This new popup is a list of all the file types
your unique computer is set up to recognize.
4. Browse down the list and look for a file type
named PLS
If PLS does not appear in the list of known file
types (the list is in alphabetical order), follow step 5 below.
If PLS does appear in your list, skip to step 6
5. Create a new file type by clicking the "New"
button beneath the list.
5a. In the new File Extension popup, type PLS as the new "File
Extension" then click OK
6. Highlight the PLS file type in your list
7. Click the "Change" button below
8. A new "Open With" box appears on your screen. Look
through the list of applications that are in your list. If Winamp
is listed in the "Recommended Programs" list, click
that once to highlight it, then click the OK button to accept
that setting.
Congratulations. You have successfully created
the PLS file type on your PC, and the Connection buttons on
our web page should automatically open Winamp and play our broadcast.
