shoutcast streaming question

First of all let me say that I'm very pleased with the my slimp3. The
audiotron that it replaced had severe problems playing back high bit
rate encoded files and is now gathering dust in the closet.

I do have one question though. For some reason I cant get some
shoutcast streams to work. Could it be that the streaming server only
supports winamp?

If anyone can provide a .m3u file for the following shoutcast stream,
I'd be very grateful.

Stream ->
http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast-playlist.pls?rn=1890&file=filename.pls

Thanks

<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks for the kind words about the SliMP3</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Now, about your troubles with the shoutcast streams.&nbsp; This
is a known problem.&nbsp; That URL actually points to a playlist that
contains 14 URLs for streaming sources.&nbsp; I guess that shoutcast
does this so that they have a failover in case one of their servers
fails.&nbsp; </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>A workaround is to download the .pls file at that URL and put
that in your playlists folder.&nbsp; Then you can play it
directly.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I'll make sure that this gets fixed so we can load up the
playlist indirectly in the future.</div>
