James Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 well.. its one of those questions which stream gets used the most? asx? m3u? or any others? i think the one with windows media player functionality (asx) is the most popular to me. but coming up second is itunes. alot of people are using it these days.

Exozito Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 .pls comes top for me cos most of the time people who know about SHOUTcast also know about Winamp. It works with both Winamp and RealPlayer. .asx is second thanks to Microsoft putting WMP in every copy of their Vista software. =.= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THREETEN RADIO Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I would say .pls also and .m3u as that will open in nearly any player. Doesn't .pls open in iTunes also? The .asx is good because if your listeners have windows (a large percentage will) then they will have Windows Media Player which that will open in.

I think you meant which streaming launching format is the most popular for you? Each of these file extensions can carry multiple streaming formats. .pls is the most used for me. It is very common for it to be recognized on Windows and Macs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexr Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 We find that asx is accessed most for us, but we really push ASX more because it gives us a chance to show them the website while they listen . pls is second mostly because of itunes, and I don't think our .ram is ever accessed .

Exozito Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 RealPlayer is the worst imo, and Itunes would have been too if it didn't have the iTunes Store feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitnitr Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 For me it's asx and pls, just as it is for many others. pls gets iTunes and Winamp, and asx gets the WMP. I rarely have anybody listening through Real, so the ram file gets few hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
