Need some basic help on the listen link

[womynaloud]

I've got shoutcast and winamp set up and it will work on a local lan, but now I'm getting ready to go live with a net broadcast, doing a webcast of a sports talk show. I've got my own server, and I'm waiting on my internet provider to give me my static ip. When I get that I need to create a link on our Station page on our website and I want to make sure I get it right! I know I need to put this http://my-ip:8000/listen.pls for my link, and I'm guessing I can do that within a graphic, like a listen here thing, but where do I put the listen.pls? Or do I need to create one? I found this on radio toolbox - <a href="http://myserveriport/listen.pls">Click Here to Listen</a> Will it work, and will this open whatever player the listener has on their system, or do they have to have winamp?

Sorry for all the questions!
