Perhaps you haven't noticed but there's a reason for this informative sentence on the New Station screen
When the endpoint for the URL is a .pls file, then MPD parses all the File<n>= entries in the file and loads everything into the queue when the station is added/played.
Take, for example, http://playerservices.streamtheworld.com...DNAAAC.pls. It contains
Selecting this file will result in 6 "tracks" being entered in the queue, each playing the same stream but via a different port and/or subdomain (done by the station for load balancing, I presume).
What's needed is a URL to a stream endpoint such as http://25353.live.streamtheworld.com:80/KINK_DNAAAC_SC
I've listened now to all four KINK streams---<main>, CLASSICS, DISTORTION, and INDIE. Not my cup of tea but my kids/grandkids would love them!
