GSPlayer. I'd highly recommend it over TCPMP for streaming internet audio. .pls files are shoutcast stream URL's and GSPlayer not only handles these fine but displays info about the stream that TCPMP doesn't to the best of my knowledge, including multiple 'channels' in the PLS.

you got to be kiddin, right? gsplayer is so limited and non finger friendly compared to the one i linked. and not only does it do pls great, it plays practically everything audio/video you throw at it.
