Thanks. I tried this. It brought up the windows media player skin, but the
message I got was that it was unable to play any of the playlist.

First, it asked for a login to the server.
Second, it said it was unable to play that type even though it plays that
file locally on my machine.

More info:
After trials and errors, here is what is in my ssPlayMusic.php file:

<?php
header("Cache-control: private");
header("Content-type: audio/x-mpegurl");
header("Content-disposition: inline;filename=stream.m3u");
echo "http://www.singingsingles.net/".$_GET['song'];
?>

When I comment out the first three header lines here is what I get:

http://www.mydomain.net/tmp_music/1jul4_AHardDaysNight.mid

so I know that the filename and location are being passed correctly. The
file does exist at that location.

My windows media player plays *.mid files.

So:
1 - Why am I being asked to log into the site?
and
2 - Why doesn't the WMP recognize the *.mid type?
