'.m3u', '.pls', '.wpl' (for a single entry only), '.asx' redirect file.
The following streaming standard are supported:
'SHOUTcast', 'Icecast', 'hls' (HTTP Live Streaming), Windows and Real streaming - some these require external plug-ins or players installed.
First navigate to the user settings folder:

Then using a text editor, open the Radio settings file:
