If you put the URL in IE, then IE will download it to a temporary file, which Winamp then plays.

If you use the +URL button in Winamp, then it's streamed directly.

If you want to play the entire playlist, just create an M3U (or PLS) file containing the list of URLs. If you then play this in Winamp, it'll stream each file, one after the other. If you use Winamp's enhanced M3U format, it'll let you specify the tags in the playlist, rather than having to read the ID3 tags -- an ideal opportunity for a spot of Perl hacking, surely?
