PLS (file Format)

PLS (file Format)

PLS is a computer file format that stores multimedia playlists. It is a more expressive format than basic M3U, as it can store (cache) information on the song title and length (this is supported in extended M3U only). With PLS version 2, playlists also include a PLS version declaration.

iTunes, QuickTime Player, RealPlayer, Winamp, AIMP, XBMC, XMPlay, VLC media player, popular GNU/Linux media player Rhythmbox, and foobar2000 are able to interpret PLS files. Media Player Classic with the K-Lite codec installed does work with PLS format but still requires the appropriate MIME or file extension associations.
