you have to use CURLOPT_URL and CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER (this will put the
data into a variable so you can parse it)

<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,
"http://www.archive.org/download/jj2004-08-27/jj2004-08-27_vbr.m3u");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, true);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);

$curl_exec = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close ($ch);

...do your processing on $curl_exec here...
