Per: http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/Public+Land+Survey

PLS also stands for Public Land Surveyor, used as an acronym after a certified surveyor's name.

It appears the dissanbiguation page for PLS already states that :) And don't forget to sign your posts with four tildas 85.72.141.200 (talk) 13:37, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Specification says the NumberOfEntries is part of the header; the Example shows it at the bottom. Clarity needed. 199.46.198.230 (talk) 19:05, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This page was vandalized by Redditors (proof). I reverted the changes. --129.10.110.45 (talk) 02:15, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This file is interesting enough to exist. It should not be deleted. I used it professionally in connection with testing a car entertainment system. --BIL (talk) 13:31, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Streaming Audio Format??

I'm gonna remove the segment calling PLS a "streaming audio format", because I have never seen or heard anything to that regard, the article itself only provides information about PLS as a playlist format, and even the references given in the paragraph separate PLS from the actual audio stream.

To put it bluntly: PLS files are playlist files. They point to the stream, they are not the stream itself.

?? MS Windows Media Player ??

My unmodified (no codec suites, WinAmp, etc.) Win7 Home Premium/WinMedia Player, does not play PLS, says it might not recognize that file type or may need a codec. Jeepers, what's a Media Player supposed to do again? All my PLS fies are useless. I have long felt that MS (and related industry) does not like PLS because it can avoid browsers and related paid ads, etc, and now I notice MS makes a competing playlist format.

Also, I find all the negative comments about the article (delete, and stub) to be unprecidented. Unless I hear otherwise, I intend to delete WinMedia Player from the compatable software list. Same with the stub warning. Cheers!

Changes...

I made the Lede section smoother and less jargony.

I also added a "finding/downloading .PLS files" paragraph to the lede because the article gave no clue where PLS files come from, or it seemed to imply that PLS files were normally hand-created. If there are other common sources for the files, perhaps those should be added too.

I also changed the vague, too-technical topic header; "Software" to: Compatable Media Player Software, but simply: "Compatable Media Players" might be even better? Cheers!
