Pls playlist of mp3 live stream doesn't work properly, what to do?

Question

Can others confirm the following issue with a live mp3 stream on version 7.0.2.16 on windows xp (sp2):
Go to wnyc.org and click on the AM or FM live stream (32k) links at the top left of the page. They should link to either of the following urls:
http://www.wnyc.org/stream/fm.pls
http://www.wnyc.org/stream/am.pls
Open these playlists with the current iTunes for windows. You should hear a 15 second sponsor pre-roll for this NPR station, and the live stream should start after that. I only hear the pre-roll, and then iTunes skips to the next item in the library.
Do you only hear the sponsor pre-roll, and then nothing OR does it work properly for you? If not, what to do?

Answer 1

Reboot your computer in Safe Mode and then try to reset all Skype settings.
Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
Reboot in normal mode and try to start Skype.
N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.
