   Used by different programs as a playlist for audio files. Can also be used as a redirector for .OGG Vorbis files although this is a non-standard use. Use a text editor to create a .PLS file that contains a single line: the full URL to the .OGG file (e.g., MYAUDIO.PLS contains http://mysite.com/myaudio.ogg as its only entry). Use ASCII mode to upload the .PLS file and binary mode to upload the .OGG file. Be certain the server has application/ogg as the MIME type for the .OGG file extension and audio/x-scpls for the .PLS file extension. You can then link to the .PLS file with the following HTML code: <a href="myaudio.pls" type="audio/x-scpls">Play My Audio</a> The Mime types used with this association are: audio/x-scpls.

10. Shoutcast
    Shoutcast and Icecast use a modified form of http to deliver MP3 audio in real-time over a network. This is a popular and inexpensive way to deliver radio over the Internet. It is especially popular with small broadcasters, as it does not require the server to have a registered domain name, just an IP address. It can deliver a live stream or a playlist of recordings. On a Macintosh, you can tune into hundreds of these streams by clicking the radio tower button in iTunes. There are also several Shoutcast players for Windows, such as WinAmp.
