Nothing more > happens; I can't get Videos to give me music. Pretty much any media player that has a "Open network stream" or "Play stream" option can accept the .pls file. First, right click on the "iTunes/mp3" button and copy the link to your clipboard. I've tested it on "VLC media player": Media->Open Network Stream->(paste in your clipboard) I've also tried Amarok: Playlist->Add Stream->(paste in your clipboard) > I try another station: "http://www.cpr.org/classical";.

Note that .pls files are Shoutcast playlists. In the playlist is the actual location of the stream. In this case, the playlist looks like: [playlist] NumberOfEntries=1 File1=http://wbjc-sc.streamguys.org:80/ So, you can either enter the URL from the "File1" line or the .pls URL into any media player that understands Shoutcast streams. > One more site: "http://pipedreams.publicradio.org/listings/2016/1628/";. > When I click the "Complete Show" link, I get a little pop-up saying "To > view this content, Javascript must be enabled and Adobe Flash Player > must be installed.".
