[SlimDevices: SqueezeNetwork] Windows Media Player Streams Squeezenetwork Favorites

[Fleury]

'Cause the server gives me quick access to all 124 of my favorite
bookmarked SN radio feeds (via MyPicks), complete with a user friendly
interface. I use SB almost exclusively for internet radio, both out of
the box and through SN at work etc. And much of that time is spent away
from the Big Stereo, listening via SN. But the SN web interface doesn't
have an embedded player (tried to get them interested in an earlier
thread, but nobody took the bait), though you can register an
"emulator" like Softsqueeze (has anyone figured out a way to get the SN
web interface to accept WMP or WinAmp directly as a recognized
"player"?). If I'm away from my SB3, my choices reduce to SN or the
Great Unknown, so to play my SN favorites I just pull the server into
the loop. I can then use its web interface to select my SN favorites
via MyPicks, press play and let WMP run with the feed.

I don't know a way to convert an OPML file (my Squeezenetwork
favorites) to a windows pls playlist or m3u file, without a whole lot
of text editing. Plus, treating the SN stream itself as playlist means
when I open WMP my favorites I'm accessing a dynamically updated online
list. Whenever I alter or rearrange my rapidly growing SN favorites,
those changes are almost instantly available in my player of choice.
