In the instructions....
3. Create a plain text file named BBC Radio.m3u in this folder (with Windows Notepad, select ANSI). You can download a sample version of this file from this link. This sample file lists all the BBC national HLS AAC UK streams in the best available sound quality. After downloading this sample file, remember to rename it to BBC Radio.m3u and make sure it has been saved as a plain text file and not some other format such as RTF (with Windows Notepad, select ANSI).

So do I save it as a "plain text file" or an m3u file? (I had it saved an an m3u file earlier and that didn't work either, but at least we can eliminate that).

The file needs to be named BBC Radio.m3u and it needs to be in plain text format.

But doesn't that clash with: "It should be the file that Windows Explorer is identifying as being of a Winamp type."?
Sorry this is such hard work, but I just can't get it to work.
