In Apache would you place: AddType audio/x-mpegurl .m3u In your httpd.conf file. This will make it work even in RealPlayer (ie, I never had to use .ram files for mp3s) harvey> > jack. > > --- >8 ---- > List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ > icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ > To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org' > containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

> Why m3u vs. pls?More clients were m3u'able than pls'able last I checked. Specifically Windows Media Player liked them better. But I made this analysis some time ago. Probably over a year or so at least. Also, apps seem to fight over PLS, but less so over M3U. jack. --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
