Good question.  My understanding of Dan's code is that only the
first item is read (i.e, only File1 is read) if the entry is a URL.

This also makes practical sense, as streams typically don't have
a defined end, so having more than one in the list is counterproductive
(unless we're looking to have functionality similar to the .m3u 
support, where the playlist containing multiple streams would
be treated as a browseable directory)


I don't know the format for multi-item playlist files (I'm not
including .m3u here because I assume the format is standard and
works properly here as well).  Dan would be the best person to answer
that question as he added the support, but a quick check of the
groups webpage doesn't show him as a member of this list yet.

I'm cc:ing him on this.

One feature that I'd like to see in your web code at some point 
(I don't know that I'll be able to get to this) would be an easy
way to build playlists...e.g., a quick form where one could cut
and paste a URL, possibly denoting what type of stream it is for
appropriate massaging (e.g., live365 station URLs need a quick
s/stations/play in the URL before being added to a .pls file).
