<p>It took some real deep digging, but I figured out what's going
on. It's an EZStream problem. Or maybe not. Here's what's going
on. The song name that's wrong comes from a three-second file that
streams immediately before the main program. This file contains
someone saying "The following program is broadcast in German." It
seems that when the next file streams, only some of the metadata
updates Listener Stats shows the correct program name, but the
last line--Current song--gets held over from that short file that
streams first.</p>

the presenter in the MP3 artist field. What could be causing this?

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Metadata are in the responsibility of the source client. So please check
that your source client doesn't have the additional text configured in
some way.
Also make sure there are only one source running per mount. Sometime
broken source clients keep trying to update metadata even when not
successfully connected to the mount point.
