It's very standard. It is a button on the web page that says: "Listen
now." When you click on it, the decoder realizes that it's a stream
rather than a web page and opens the default media player instead of the
web browser.
I had this problem a few years ago and forget how I solved it.
The way I am configured now, it reopens the web site rather than start
the stream.

Although any text editor would open the file, python needs something so
that it can play it. The "Listen.m3u" file is 49 is only 49 bytes in
size. Here is the entire contents of it opened in puma.

This appears to be a link to an HTML page, so I'm not surprised that a media
player couldn't play it. It looks like the page contains links to a number of
station pages with embedded players, I clicked on three of them and none
report to be currently on the air.
Wherever you got this file from, I'm guessing somebody is trying to do
something clever and non-standard - I don't think you'll be able to play this
on any media player except possibly one that the provider had in mind.

That is a playlist, m3u are just an index of the files. They are most
common in scene releases of music. The m3u will contain a list of the
files in the release so you can see what is missing and preserve order
without having to have track numbers in the file names or id3 tags.
If opened with VLC it will play the files in the order listed. But if
those files don't exist it does nothing. What is the contents of the
m3u? Any text reader should be able to read it.
