Is there a way that I can set up a playlist and just have that play without having to use winamp and listen to the station.

D1. How do I use the on-demand content features of the DNAS?

Answer: The DNAS installs with a folder called content/. Place any MP3 files
inside this directory, and they're ready to be streamed on-demand. The server
will even automatically generate a playlist for any individual item of content
so you can have browsers automatically pass the content off to a player without
having to make playlists yourself.

example:

your server has a file called song.mp3 in the content/ folder. Your SHOUTcast
DNAS is running on port 8000 at my.host.com.

Your HTML page should have the following code:

You can listen to my song <A HREF="http://my.host.com:8000/content/song.pls">here</A>

NOTE: The file song.pls DOES NOT EXIST in your content directory! If a file
with the same name exists with the .mp3 extension, the DNAS will automatically
generate the .pls file.

NOTE: Subdirectories DO NOT work for the content section, to help prevent
malicious users from tramping around your filesystem.
