I believe Winamp will play .pls file extensions, and at least at one time they had this file type registered so that they were the only ones that could. There might be more players out there that will now. Who can keep up with all the media changes?

Downloading Winamp right now.
Thanks kindly for the reply, every time I turn around there's a new version of player software that grabs control of all the media on my box, and every day there's a new format....I just can't keep up.

While competition is great for the advancement of technology, it is also a huge pain in the ass at times!

SC-PLS is actually one of the 'oldest' types of 'PlayList' file.
Developed by unknowns long ago, and then made standard by nullsoft.
Unfortuneatly, Microsoft pulled their PLS support quite a while ago, in an effort to make their ASX format more standard. To further that, they pulled support for ShoutCast streaming so that their ASF format would become more standard...
In otherwords, they tried to kill the guys who were giving away their source code and software for free.... Typical? hehe
Alot of other players, in fact the majority, do however support SC-PLS playback. And yep, I do recommend WinAmp, since it's developed by nullsoft, and it truly is free!
Anyways, NWR is to go to M3U soon, another standard playlist format specifically designed for MP3 files. Windows Media will probably not accept it still, since I ain't paying for their rediculous licenses to use their servers...
