need help with streaming radio playlist

Hello everyone and pardon me if at the wrong place, this is my first post

A little while back I discovered Foobar2K and fell in love. Tried a bunch of skins, tried making my own, was crap so shelved the project
Now, I discovered that it can play internet radio streams . . . wow, now I gotta figure out how to make a decent playlist, easy . . . I think notttt would say Gru
so I have been researching all over the internet, a few laps around the planet, thanks to google translate here

I made a very basic playlist around the top 5 of my familly's interest, my station is of course C101 from Corpus Christi, Texas.
Anyhoo, I need help with this as I am out of ideas.
Here is the code for my current work . . .

5. http://www.thebeat925.ca/

they don't all work, that's new I think . . .
I'm also including a SS I just took

What I am really looking for is, well, I have been using RadioSure to play streaming internet radio and it excels at that however, it does display artist and song name . . .
I would love to have any and all info that streams, and be able to display it in Foobar2K but I'm at an end, I would love for nothing more than having only Foobar as a media player, am I dreaming ?

Foobar2000 cannot play playlist .pls inside a playlist.
So File3 and File5 will not play.
You have to get the url(s) from those playlists and replace the entries with the url(s).

Artist and track info is displayed , when the stream has dynamic metadata.

Not all streams contain this metadata.

Thank you for the quick reply, I'll try and find the actual urls tonight.

I understand that not all streams contain metadata but if I see it in RadioSure, I must be able to see it elsewhere. 

I'll emend the post as soon as it's done and when I'm done, I'll post the pls file so others can enjoy it.
