Some time ago, I used a bat file to create c:\temp\temp.m3u files and pass it to the windows mplayer. You just "sendto" the folder to the batch file, which lives in the sendto folder.

However VLC player will play folders, so that's what I usually use today. VLC will also play some internet radio but the interface is a bit clumsy. I have used a PC to create a groupname.m3u list of internet radio stations and copied it to my phone because the android version of VLC is even more clumsy, but, it does work if you persist and are wise to the odd user interface. Android is just clumsy because of the touch screen, tiny screen and bizarre process management.

The bat file:--------------------------
::mad:echo off

set yn="no"
if not exist "%USERPROFILE%\sendto\%~nx0" set /p yn="Do you want a copy of this script in your sendto folder? "
for %%i in (yes y ok) do if /I "%yn%" equ "%%i" cp %0 "%USERPROFILE%\sendto"

chcp 1252 >nul
if %1""=="" goto message
echo "" > c:\temp\tmp.m3u
set flist=wav wma mp3 mid ra
:multi
if "%~a1" geq "d" (
set mf=true
for %%i in (%flist%) do dir %1\*.%%i /s/o/b >> c:\temp\tmp.m3u
) else (
set mf=false
for %%i in (%flist%) do if "%~x1" == ".%%i" (
set mf=true
echo %~f1 >> c:\temp\tmp.m3u
)
)
if not "%mf%" == "true" (
echo "** %~nx1 is not a supported file type!**"
pause
goto :eof
)
shift
if not %1""=="" goto :multi

c:
cd c:\program files\windows media player
start wmplayer.exe c:\temp\tmp.m3u
:: pause
goto :eof

:message
echo -------------------------------------------
echo **No target files. Drag and drop on icon.**
echo -------------------------------------------
pause
 
This was an older simpler version of my playlist generator:----------
::mad:echo off
CHCP 1252
if %1""=="" goto message
if not exist c:\temp mkdir c:\temp
if exist c:\temp\tmp.m3u del c:\temp\tmp.m3u
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto running
dir %1\*.wav /s/o/b > c:\temp\tmp.m3u
dir %1\*.mp3 /s/o/b >> c:\temp\tmp.m3u
dir %1\*.wma /s/o/b >> c:\temp\tmp.m3u
dir %1\*.ra /s/o/b >> c:\temp\tmp.m3u
dir %1\*.mid /s/o/b >> c:\temp\tmp.m3u
c:
cd c:\program files\windows media player
:: mplayer 6
:: start mplayer2.exe c:\temp\tmp.m3u
:: mplayer 7
start wmplayer.exe c:\temp\tmp.m3u
exit

:message
echo -------------------------------------------
echo **No target files. Drag and drop on icon.**
echo -------------------------------------------
pause
exit

:running
echo ------------------------------------------------
echo **Please close existing mplayer and try again.**
echo ------------------------------------------------
