I Need Help Trying to Play (.pls) files in a simple windows forms Application

Question

 So I'm try to build application that when I click on the icon it opens a little window and play the url .pls. I already got the graphics of the app i just to get the code and I've been looking around for but all i got was this code
typedef struct
int count;
void **name;
void **displayname;
} Playlist;
Playlist* my_playlist; // SHOUTCAST PLAYLIST
#define BOX(text) MessageBox(NULL,text,"Info",MB_OK | MB_TOPMOST);
char *stristr(char *string2, char *string1) // from /samples/fmod/Main.c
char *s1 = strdup(string1);
char *s2 = strdup(string2);
char *ret = 0;
int i, j;
int len1 = (int)strlen(string1);
int len2 = (int)strlen(string2);
for (i=0;s1[i];i++) s1[i] = tolower(s1[i]);
for (i=0;s2[i];i++) s2[i] = tolower(s2[i]);
for (j=0;j < (len2 - len1);j++)
char *a = s1;
char *b = &s2[j];
for (i=0;(i < len1) && *a && *b;a++, b++, i++)
if (*a != *b)
break;
if (i == len1)
ret = &string2[j];
break;
free(s1);
free(s2);
return ret;
Playlist *ParsePlaylist(char *name) // from /samples/fmod/Main.c and MSDN
char *filebuf, *p;
Playlist *playlist = 0;
int count, i;
// Check if URL is null
if (!name)
BOX("Streaming URL is empty");
return 0;
// Check if URL is a *.pls file
if (_stricmp((const char *)".pls", (const char *)(&name[strlen(name) - 4])))
return 0;
// Create a WinInet session
HINTERNET hSession = InternetOpen(_T(""), INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PRECONFIG, 0, 0, 0);
// Prepare a request
HINTERNET hRequest = InternetOpenUrl(hSession, name, 0, 0, 0, 0);
// Send the HTTP request.
HttpSendRequest(hRequest, 0, 0, 0, 0);
// Read the response data.
DWORD dwNumberOfBytesAvailable = 0;
do
// Retrieve size of remote file
InternetQueryDataAvailable(hRequest, &dwNumberOfBytesAvailable, 0, 0);
if (0 < dwNumberOfBytesAvailable)
// Allocate buffer memory
filebuf = new char[dwNumberOfBytesAvailable + 1];
filebuf[dwNumberOfBytesAvailable] = 0;
DWORD dwBytesRead = 0;
// Read remote file and put in buffer
InternetReadFile(hRequest,
filebuf,
dwNumberOfBytesAvailable,
&dwBytesRead);
//BOX(filebuf);
while (0 < dwNumberOfBytesAvailable);
// Close the request handle.
InternetCloseHandle(hRequest);
// Close the WinInet session.
InternetCloseHandle(hSession);
// Parse the pls file (from Fmod sample)
p = stristr(filebuf, "NumberOfEntries=");
if (!p)
BOX("Streaming : NumberOfEntries in pls file not found");
return 0;
p += 16;
count = atoi(p);
if (!count)
BOX("Streaming : numeric value for NumberOfEntries not found");
return 0;
playlist = (Playlist *)calloc(sizeof(Playlist), 1);
if (!playlist)
BOX("Streaming : can't allocate memory for pls file (playlist)");
return 0;
playlist->count = count;
playlist->name = (void **)calloc(sizeof(char *) * count, 1);
if (!playlist->name)
BOX("Streaming : can't allocate memory for pls file (playlist->name)");
return 0;
playlist->displayname = (void **)calloc(sizeof(char *) * count, 1);
if (!playlist->displayname)
BOX("Streaming : can't allocate memory for pls file (playlist->displayname)");
return 0;
for (i=0;i < count;i++)
char tmp[32];
char *filename, *displayname, *t;
filename = displayname = 0;
sprintf(tmp, "File%d=", i + 1);
p = strstr(filebuf, tmp);
if (p)
p += strlen(tmp);
t = p;
for (;*t && (*t != 0xa) && (*t != 0xd);t++);
if (*t)
char tmpc = *t;
*t = 0;
filename = _strdup(p);
*t = tmpc;
if (strncmp(filename, "http://", 7) && strncmp(filename, "http:\\\\", 7))
char *tmpname = _strdup(filename);
p = &tmpname[strlen(tmpname) - 1];
for (;(p > tmpname) && (*p != '\\') && (*p != '/');p--);
if ((*p == '\\') || (*p == '/'))
p++;
displayname = _strdup(p);
free(tmpname);
playlist->name[i] = filename;
playlist->displayname[i] = displayname;
free(filebuf);
return playlist;
[main code]
char string_music[256] = "http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast-playlist.pls?rn=6042&file=filename.pls"; // For example
// Parse the remote file (in case it's a Shoutcast playlist (*.pls))
my_playlist = ParsePlaylist(string_music);
if (my_playlist)
strcpy(string_music, (char*) my_playlist->name[0]); // for the first song in the playlist
FSOUND_STREAM * my_stream = FSOUND_Stream_Open(string_music, FSOUND_NORMAL | FSOUND_NONBLOCKING, 0, 0);
int int_sound_mp3 = FSOUND_Stream_Play(FSOUND_FREE, my_stream);
and i got to link it to Wininet.lib
and I'm a noob so i got problems as soon as i tried to put everything together
so any help greatly appreciated 
BTW if you know any other ways, that I'll be able to stream the audio that will be great to.
heres the link for the audio stream (.pls)

Hello 0cooldex0,
What library do you used in this scenario? I haven't saw this FSOUND_STREAM from MSDN library.
By the way, winform general is used for talking about Windows Form library, is is using C# or VB.NET but not C or C++. You are not posting in the right forum.
In my point of view, you may choose the forum depending on the library you choosed and post on specific forum.

Barry
