Windows Media and Playradiouk

[Andrew Mawby]

I'm a big fan of the internet radio station www.playradiouk.com/

It delivers through Windows Media Player, Winamp, Real Player and Quicktime.

One of the channels is called Christmas and when I clink on it, it doesn't
launch Windows Media Player, instead it launches a window then a Notepad
document with this script
'[playlistNumberOfEntries=1File1=[URL]http://87.117.200.139:8150/[/URL]'

Any ideas what I can do to correct?

Thanks

I have the new WMP11, and it refuses to play any .pls files (a type of
playlist) and gives a message that this is a type of file that it can
not support. I don't know if earlier WMPs will work or not. In this
case, the solution is simple. The Real player option they also give
works, so use it. If you do not have a Real player, it is a free
download at http://www.real.com/ . They have limited time free trials
for pay services, but I suggest that you avoid these at first- you can
always add these later if you wish.
