ID3 over audio streaming?

Question

I\'ve used AudioStreamer courtesy Matt

I need to extract id3 metadata and display the current song playing.

Answer 1

Since you mention "current song playing", I assume you are trying to play a stream, probably from SHOUTcast or Icecast. These streams don't have ID3 data encoded... they use a separate mechanism.
