[icecast] MP3 MetaData in WMP and RealOne

[MacSym]

Hi Everybody,

It works with Peercast because Peercast receives the headers from Icecast2
and sends its own headers back to the client (Winamp, WMP, Real...).
Remember that Peercast is a client AND a server... I guess Peercast doesn't
send back the headers in the same way than Icecast2. Maybe Peercast doesn't
use ICY/X-audiocast.

Talking about Real (v9.0 and 10), I already got the metadata displayed from
Icecast but I didn't check if the server I was listening to was Icecast1 or
Icecast2.

Cheers,

MAX

Maybe it works with WinAmp because peercast is received via a plugin 
that supports this?

http://www.peercast.org/download.php
WinAmp 2.x/5.x:
- Self-extracting installer
- Installs WinAmp plugin client
- Enables peercast:// links
- Free. No adware/spyware

Allan, I assume you have a plugin installed for listening to 
peercast?
