hi. Well, you don't play pls files unless you've built a playlist previously and are using that. Really, all a playlist is, is just a text document that references the songs. Let's try one more thing. Open the sam encoders, and then right clik like you did before. Now, arrow down to where it says, sound card sub menu. There is a setting in there that says audio pipeline. if you're going to be doing live broadcasts, with both announcements from your microphone and music, you'll want to point the plugin to the particular card you're using.
Also, it matters how you give the link to your station to friends. Remember, you'll need to give your friend some kind of internet address such as your IP address, or better yet, sign up with one of the free domain hosting sites like http://www.no-ip.com and get yourself a free domain so that you can give that address to your friend. So for example, you could get an address such as: http://rock.audio-stream.net You're on port 8000 most likely, so the address you would give to your friends would be http://rock.audio-stream.net:8000 notice the colon followed by 8000 at the end. Now if you do all this and the Sam Encoders still don't work, remember Spacial Audio does provide tech support for its products, so don't hesitate to go to them for help if you need it. For that amount of money I would hope the tech support is somewhat decent. I never used it so I can't say.
