Brilliant thanks. I knew it was a playlist file, but assumed Icecast could sort
that out and I couldn?t readily access the actual pls as Safari insisted on
dealing with it and wouldn?t show the text of the file. But I found another way.
I could have copied a URL from your post, but where?s the fun in that. Joking
aside, I need to be able to access files like this in future now I know I need
to do this in order to set up an Icecast relay when I only have a playlist URL.
All understood and working now. Thank you for the prompt response.
