    Default Recording and Listening to Shoutcasts

    Hi,
    I'm new to Replay. Have just installed the whole recording suite. I'm using Replay AV8 to look at some radio stations broadcasting jazz. When I try to play a lot of them in Media Guide to see if I want to record them, I get a download of a Shoutcast pls file, which, if I open it, gives nothing, no player, no sound. However, if I add the station to my recording list, I can download and record the mp3 files, which I can listen to in Windows Media Player.
    Can anybody tell me how to listen to the Shoutcast broadcasts before recording them?
    Thanks

    Hi,

    PLS streams are actually MP3 playlists. They usually don't play from within the Media Guide.

    The easiest way to record MP3 stations is to just drag and drop them from itunes directly into the Replay AV window. This way you can preview them in iTunes first.

    Hi
    I haven't got iTunes installed at the moment. Would Winamp work just as well ?
