This appears to be a link to an HTML page, so I'm not surprised that a media player couldn't play it. It looks like the page contains links to a number of station pages with embedded players, I clicked on three of them and none report to be currently on the air. Wherever you got this file from, I'm guessing somebody is trying to do something clever and non-standard - I don't think you'll be able to play this on any media player except possibly one that the provider had in mind. > > > > > On Wednesday, 07 August, 2013 03:40 AM, Matthias Johnson wrote: > > > > That is a playlist, m3u are just an index of the files.
