Description Pino Toscano 2007-02-22 05:14:12 UTC 
It seems application/m3u is used as mimetype for .m3u files.
(for example see http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=M3U).
Example directly from http://shouted.fm/internetradio/index.php: http://shouted.fm/internetradio/index.php - wget'ing this gives the resulting mime type as application/m3u.
Of course, one of the proper solution would be fixing the server to report the right mime type, but it's basically impossible to do that for every server in the Internet.

A wget'able url that shows this weird mimetype is
http://www.shouted.fm/internetradio/stations/get.php?stream=electro&type=m3u&connection=dsl
I'll see if there are more webservers serving this mimetype (most shoutcast servers actually serve audio/x-scpls, using m3u is rather seldom for streams).

Thanks, fixed.
