     Another tip: if a sound/music service offers an *.pls file, save it and 
launch xmms with that filename. For example:
          xmms whatever.pls

     I get music from live365.com and, after logging in (free subscription), 
click on the music service wanted (via the speaker-in-a-yellow-circle icon), 
download and save the offered play.pls file using some indicative name.
     Here's my current set of saved selections:
          play-bossa-nova-breakfast.pls
          play-kingdom-of-swing.pls
          play-rat-pack-live.pls

    So, if I'm in the mood for some Sinatra, I launch:
         xmms play-rat-pack-live.pls

    I assume these may expire after some interval but, for the moment at 
least, everything seems to be working. Cool!
