How to stream url from .pls file with java?

I want to stream a radio with Java, my approach is to download the playlist file (.pls), then extract one of the urls given in that same file and finally, stream it with java. However, it seems I cannot find a way to do it.. I tried with JMF, but I get java.io.IOException: Invalid Http response everytime I run the code.

Here is what I tried:

Player player = Manager.createPlayer(new URL("http://50.7.98.106:8398"));
player.start();

The .pls file:

[playlist]
NumberOfEntries=1
File1=http://ift.tt/1ww5vK1

In the piece of code above I'm setting the URL by hand, just for testing, but I've sucessfuly done the .pls downloading code and it's working, and from this I make another question, is it a better approach to just simply play the .pls file locally? Can it be done?
