Options
There are several options to change the behavior of Winamp. Some of the relevant
one are outlined here.
Since Winamp is fully compatible with all permutations of .m3u and .pls playlist files,
and their referenced files and streams, we recommend configuring Winamp to be
the registered player for these file types. Both .m3u and .pls should be highlighted
in Winamp Preferences / File Types. If you would like Winamp to be the registered
player for other file types, highlight them as well.

Live/File Stream Linking in a Web Page
Winamp may be launched and play streams or files directly from a streaming link in
a web page. This is done by placing metafiles or playlist files on the web server and
linking to them in the HTML code that produces the web page. Refer to
Metafile/Playlist Files (page 5-17) for information about Winamp metafiles and
playlist files, and how to create them.
This section assumes you have knowledge of HTML authoring and tags. You must
have write access to the web server in order to place the necessary files there.
