Pretty much any media player that has a "Open network stream" or "Play
stream" option can accept the .pls file. First, right click on the
"iTunes/mp3" button and copy the link to your clipboard.
I've tested it on "VLC media player":
Media->Open Network Stream->(paste in your clipboard)
I've also tried Amarok:
Playlist->Add Stream->(paste in your clipboard)

Note that .pls files are Shoutcast playlists. In the playlist is the
actual location of the stream. In this case, the playlist looks like:
[playlist]
NumberOfEntries=1
File1=http://wbjc-sc.streamguys.org:80/
So, you can either enter the URL from the "File1" line or the .pls URL
into any media player that understands Shoutcast streams.
