Rants and Raves

I’ve been listing to “Internet radio” some on my computer while I work; but the only utility I had loaded on my computer that handled .pls files was Nero Showtime… and I preferred to have Windows Media Player handle it.

So I created a little Windows program in C# (it would be trivial to do in any language, but that’s my preference at the moment) and associated it with .pls files that does nothing but take file1 out of the play list and url-ize it in a format that Windows Media Player likes and pass it on to Windows Media Player.

Give it a try!
