libshout does not do url encoding for header values. If your client (winamp) 
has bugs requiring it to be encoded in this case, then you should do the 
encoding on the calling side.

Even more to consider...

    The metadata is working with WinAmp and RealPlayer. The concern I 
have is that the 'url' metadata is being misinterpreted. My url has a 
"-" in it, and that is getting mistranslated somewhere and 
WinAmp/RealPlayer then see it as artist/title information.  Not good. 
WinAmp is supposed to display the website defined by the URL. Something 
else I'll be looking into. Perhaps libshout does/doesn't do some URL 
encoding?

Okay, this is interesting....

    The metadata functions work fine with icecast (2.0.0) but do not 
work at all with NullSoft's ShoutCast server. . . Is that not supported 
by libshout? Just curious...
