I think it's kinda silly that .pls URLs aren't supported. You have to view the "File Info" within WinAmp to find out the actual stream. It can't be hard to just read a .pls file and strip out the referenced stream URL.

All of the ShoutCast.com links are .pls links.

Same with .m3u's, .m3u files should be parsed and relinked as well.

I thought this was a pretty obvious missing feature but I didn't see any posts on it so I'm making a new feature suggestion.

All SL does is act as a "pass throught" it doesn't decode anything. All SL doe when you step on land is give <something not sure what it's called> the stream link!

The client decodes the stream.

*bump*

If the client audio plug-in DLL sux, replace it. But support this.

I dont think this would be hard to do, in fact, LL may have already thought of it. Here's hoping the flood of new builds bring us some of these quick fixes.
