How to stream an .pls audio file in android 2.2

Question

I am trying to play an .pls file (available at http://stream.radiosai.net:8002/listen.pls) in android 2.2. But it isn't working. Playing MP3 works fine.

Answer 1

A pls or a playlist file is basically a text file with the path of each track in each entry. Kind of like an .ini file. Take a look at the WP entry.

I don't think the inbuilt MediaPlayer supports these formats, so you'll have to download the file and parse the file and play the actual mp3's one by one.

Answer 2

Android doesn't support the .pls format. Link
