Icecast - Sep 2005 - Streaming .PLS playlists

I'm trying to setup icecast on one of my Linux boxes but I'm having
trouble creating and accessing a *.pls playlist. Let me explain, I can
create a file containing the MP3 files to be streamed using ices which
then redirects the data to icecast to be streamed like a radio station.
The problem with this is that the client then cannot choose which song
within the playlist to play. I want to create a file using the .PLS
format that the client can download and then have the option of clicking
on any of the songs inside that file to be then streamed using the
icecast server. How do I do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

lookup what the layout of a pls file is like, write one, place it in
webroot or on a web server and you are done.
