The metadata carried in the ogg streams I found is usually limited to Artist
and Title. These two I never found presented in the http header. Additional
they change while receiving the stream.

Oddsock, Mike,

Thank you. I was the fool (maybe not enough sleep:-). Because the shoutcast
servers at shoutcast.com never sent any useful data in the "real" http
header I just threw it away and always looked at the following data (where
shoutcast sends plain text stream info). Icecast sends the info in the http
header itself.Ahh... Now I got it.
Regards
Frank

I'm thinking that the reason why you're still getting some stream info
from ogg because ogg streams also contain metadata.

My question is that, in the view of a client, should ogg (or whatever
carrier format) metadata override the metadata sent via the http header?
Or is there no standard agreement?
