About PLS
PLS is the playlist internet radio is shared in: SHOUTcast and Icecast stations offer one to listen with, and Winamp, VLC and foobar2000 save their playlists in it too.
It's text laid out like an INI file: a [playlist] section with File1, Title1 and Length1 for each entry, a length of -1 for a station that never ends, then how many entries there are and the version.
Filepeek lists every entry in its order with its title, length and address. Drop a PLS with its songs, or the folder that holds them, and they play in its order. A station's address opens in a new tab only after Filepeek asks.

Questions
How do I listen to a radio station's PLS?
Open it in a player like VLC or foobar2000, which plays the station's address. Filepeek shows that address, and opens it in a new tab after asking.
How do I play the songs in a PLS?
Drop the playlist together with its songs. The first plays, and each one after it in the playlist's order.
Why does my PLS say -1 for the length?
That's how a PLS marks a station or a stream, which has no end. Songs have their length in seconds.
