I looked into this a bit more and figured out what Rick meant. The problem with WMP is that it doesn't understand .PLS files, but it can open any of the MP3 AM streams (but not the AACplus). To do it, you have to click on File and then Open URL and add the appropriate URL. This works fine.I tried it under XP SP2 using v10 of the player. This is still more expensive than Real Player or WinAmp, the former being the cheaper of the 2.

I also have Quicktime on my machine for other reasons and tried that. This is cheaper still by 6MB but you give up seeing the artist and track name in the window. AACplus is not supported or at least I couldn't get it to work.
