Click on "My settings" link (top right of live365 page)
Under "MP3 Player", checkmark "MP3 Player (eg. Winamp, Sonique, Musicmatch)"
Click "Save settings" button.

Now make sure Winamp3 is set as your default .pls playlist player c/o
Winamp3 -> Prefs -> Media
Select PLS from the extensions list.

Thanks for the help! But I'm still having a problem. What Internet address do I enter for the location to start the stream. The station I want to listen to is at http://www.live365.com/stations/webthing.
Thanks again!

Y is that link not working. Well anyway. My station I want to listen to with winamp is @ Live365 The station name is WMIR RADIO.

Umm, you just click the big yellow "Play" button

and then a small live365 java window should open, and then the .pls playlist auto downloads and opens up and streams in Winamp. It does for me anyway (though admittedly I'm still using Winamp 2.81 as my default .pls player).

Getting closer. I set winamp3 as my default .pls player. And it opens when I press play....but no sound. In the playlist editor window I get

1. Temporary
2. file:Internet
3. play[1]

Does the same for me with winamp2.8

thanks for the help webthing

Hmm, sounds like you've got a bit of a corrupt internet cache problem.

Close IE browser
Rt click IE desktop icon
Select "Properties"
General tab -> Temporary Internet Files -> Delete.

Also click the "Settings" button
and make sure the cache size isn't set too large.

OK tried that. I keep that pretty clean. Thanks. Let me see. I'm using win98. I rechecked my file extensions everything looks good there. Tried real player worked. Changed back to winamp3 still getting.
1. Internet
2. Temporary
3. play[1]

When I press play Live365 sends me play.xpl from live365. I did'nt see that extension in winamp preferred media for .xpl? I don't think that matters?????

Aaah! The dreaded XPL conflict.
This is a RealPlayer related issue.
