Icecast - Feb 2005 - Setting up a windows icecast server problem

I need help!!!  I can turn on my icecast server and bring up the status page and
login to the admin section but I can't play music.
I am using ezstream and below is some code from the ezstream config file.  Do I
need to include some code with in the regular icecast config file that points to
the ezstream directory.

    <url>http://www.chris-on-the-web.com:8000/cwradio</url>
    <sourcepassword>abc123</sourcepassword>
    <format>MP3</format>
    <filename>playlist.m3u</filename>

above I have a folder named cwradio which is within the ezstream directory and
the folder contains the playlist.m3u file.
If I type in http://www.chris-on-the-web.com:8000/cwradio/playlist.m3u it should
load my music right???  Why doesn't it??
do I need to parse the playlist at the command prompt with the ezstream.exe
file.

please help!!

YOu need to run ezstream to stream your playlist to the icecast server, 
then you connect to http://www.chris-on-the-web.com:8000/cwradio (the URL 
defined in your ezstream config) with your favourite player and you should 
hear it.
