I thought about this also, and decided the best way to do it would be by
clients requesting the headers over a TCP connection. Also, if you want
to have the title/artist change per song rather than just staying as
"Virgin Radio" or whatever, you should send the headers over the
multicast thing when you want it to change. The fact that the clients
connect via TCP would also let you collect stats easier.
