If you are using Winamp, you can use the following instructions to configure your browser to launch Winamp automatically. Similar instructions can be used for other players and platforms.

Browser Configuration for Winamp

Configuring your web browser to automatically launch Winamp with these links should be easy. First off, make sure Winamp has registered the .PLS file extension (Open Winamp, go the the Preferences, Setup Tab, and make sure PLS is selected in the listbox). Next, choose your browser:
  • Internet Explorer 3.x or later.
    When you click on a link to a server, a dialog should open up asking whether to open or save. Select open and uncheck the option 'Always ask for this type of file'. Nothing more is required.

  • Netscape Navigator 3.x or later.
    When you click on a link to a server, a dialog should pop up asking whether to save, cancel, or to pick an app to open with. Click on the latter button. When a box opens up for you to specify the program, type the location and executable of your Winamp (usually C:\program files\winamp\winamp.exe).
