2015 checking in. Why is this still a bug NINE years later? Running
Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS, FF v38.0, Rhythmbox 3.0.2. When clicking a .pls link
within FF, FF launches Rhythmbox, and appears that Rhythm box indeed
reads the .pls file (at least it did from SomaFM), and places
appropriate entries in the 'radio' category, but it does NOT *play* that
file unless the user manually clicks the play button. Haven't these devs
ever listened to music before? How is this still a painful, multi-step
process requiring 40 minutes of research to resolve?

Title:
  rhythmbox doesn't do anything with .pls given on the command line

Status in The Rhythmbox Music Management Application:
  New
Status in desktop-file-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in rhythmbox package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: rhythmbox

  The problem is, RhythmBox doesn't support playlists loaded externally. So when a user chooses "open this file" in firefox, rhythmbox pops up and nothing happens.
  I think the same goes for .m3u playlists.
  On the other hand, it's a shame rhythmbox doesn't support external playlists well... It makes it unusable when it comes to internet radios and stuff like that.... :/
