...and, with the current CVS code, you should be able to put  in
a URL of the form:

http://www.live365.com/play/#####

...and it will correctly handle the redirect.  Though I didn't implement
it, it would be fairly trivial to:

1)  Have it do this with the standard "http://www.live365.com/stations/####"
2)  Work with "http://www.live365.com/stations/foo" where "foo" is the
     name of the station owner, or
3)  Tweak the .pls parsing code so you could just put in something like:
     File1=live365:foo
    ...where foo is either the station owner or the station name.

I think 2 and 3 would be the easiest, as that is the information that's
most readily available to listeners, without requiring them to mentally
parse URLs.
