Does anybody know how to write a script for a streaming playlist file that works with iTunes?

I can make one that works for WinAmp, but I can't seem to get it to work for iTunes.

edit: that **** was supposed to read . pls (the file extension)

I've never thought about writing a script for a media player before. What are you doing with it?

For a streaming playlist, you just create a plain text file with the extension for the media player (WinAmp uses . m3u)
Each plain text file contains one line for each URL of your . mp3 files.

one line looks like:
File 1 = http: // www. yourwebsite. com/ music/ song . mp3 (no spaces, of course)
then File 2, etc.

Link your html page directly to the playlist file (not the . mp3 file!)

I think I found out how to do this on shoutcast.com, but they only deal with WinAmp-related issues. For a iTunes playlist, I thought it would be the same- just a different extension, but I must be missing some line of syntax, or something. I tried googling this question, but I had no luck - plus, I prefer passive research!
