[Icecast] client not displaying metadata on current song

[Dave]

Hello,
    Thanks for your reply. I've checked ices.log and icecast's access and 
error logs, i'm not seeing any errors in my setup. I'm now assuming that 
it's winamp5, this was previously working. I do not know what setting to 
check, any suggestions welcome.
Thanks.
Dave.
