I could have sworn that a plain http link to a streaming m3u playlist played successfully in my Eclipse project and Android emulator a couple of days ago. Now it won't play, although http links to mp3 files play just fine. Was I dreaming about playing the m3u? Is there something I missed? Thanks!

Android can play m3u files but .mp3 is better in my experience with Android. Also, I believe only certain versions on Android can play a m3u file.
