> Easy fix wayne, I use listen to live365 all the time, prefer old time radio myself.. anyways.. your problem is simple to fix, simply go to "edit" then "preferences" then "helper applications"  from there I think you can figure it out.. otherwise post back to the group, either me or some other kind soul will carry you the rest of the way though.

Well, I've tried that, but what do you use to open the files with?  And
what is this play.pls the server keeps trying to send me?  I tell it to
save it to disk, but it doesn't contain anything, has a 0 byte content. 
According to the download manager, I'm trying to download a file of type
audio/x-scpls but there is no application to open it with...at least not
one I'm familiar with.

So, I'm still stuck.  After I sent that, I also tried going to the WBAP
website and trying their streaming audio...I get absolutely nothing from
them.  It doesn't give an error, it just doesn't do anything at all.  It
says you need RealPlayer, which I believe I have, but it still does
nothing.  shrug.

Heheheh...nothing like being a newbie, eh?
