Hi,
there is of course an article about the pls file format at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLS_(file_format)
That maid be helpful if you would like to create your own pls file. The
main specification for the file is as follows (from Wikipedia):
Header
[playlist] : This tag indicates that it is a Playlist File
Track Entry
Assuming track entry #X
FileX : Variable defining location of stream.
TitleX : Defines track title.
LengthX : Length in seconds of track. Value of -1 indicates indefinite.
Footer
NumberOfEntries : This variable indicates the number of tracks
Version : Playlist version. Currently only a value of 2 is valid.
If you right click on a pls file, Edit, it look like this:
[playlist]
File1=http://stream.laut.fm/alpenradio-volksmusik?.wma
Title1=Alpenradio
Length1=-1
NumberOfEntries=1
At last the entry behind file1>URL-to-the-stream> is needed in the pls
file.
There some audio formats and/or bitrate the PTP1 can't use. So not any
file you create will work in PTP1.
Yours sincerely
Arno
