For Windows Media player follow the steps below :

Open up notepad and insert the following code...

Code:
<asx version="3.0">
<title> Station Name </title>
<entry>
<title>Stream Title</title>
<author> website address</author>
<ref href="http://ServerIp:port/"/>
</entry>
</asx>

Change the entries in bold to your requirements.

Simply save the document as whatever.asx

Upload to your webspace and link it the same way as the realplayer one.

can you explain a little further plz, not really sure what i am doing with this

Windows media player [.wma] and RealPlayer [.ram] only have special launch files.

ALL other MP3 players know how to handle .pls and .m3u files [these are MP3 specific, not player specific] -- if the listener has more than one of them installed, THEIR local config determines which player will launch, and there is no way that you can force a particular one to open for a listener.

If you like the way all those MP3 player icons look on your page -- they all use the same DNAS listen URL -- */listen.pls

I think he needs help making a link, what HTML editor are you using becuase most of them make life easy. If you are doing it by hand you would use something like this

<a href="listen.asx"><Img src="asx.gif"> border="0">Listen with windows media player</a>

meaning listen.asx is the file on the web server that contains the connection information for the stream, asx.gif is a simple pic of windows media player etc..
