.pls file or what may be specified in the ID3v2 tag of the file) will be dis-
played in Winamp while the IntroFile plays.
If a .pls file specifies a file to stream, only the filename will be displayed
in Winamp, not the Title specified in the .pls file or what may be specified
in the ID3v2 tag of the file.
If Playlist Shuffling is enabled in the Winamp Player, the playlist order
specified in the .pls file may not necessarily play in the same order.
Example .pls files:
Single server:
[playlist]
numberofentries=1
File1=http://123.45.67.8:8000
Title1=Orban HiFi Internet Audio
Length1=-1
Version=2
Multiple servers:
Multiple servers may be listed in order to accommodate higher network
traffic and/or server capacity. As one server reaches capacity, the next
server in the list will attempt to deliver the stream.
Files and live streams may be referenced in the same .pls file, for exam-
ple, to play a stream ID or pre-announce file before the live stream starts,
however if SHOUTcast DNAS is used, it is better to use the IntroFile fea-
ture, since there will be no re-buffering between sources.
SHOUTcast and Icecast2 servers may be referenced in the same .pls file.
