Did you really see meta-data? Or did it show data from the playlist- file? Or did you see the data (name and genre) provided in the http- header upon connect? E.g.: http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast- playlist.pls?rn=4219&file=filename.pls Shows "CLUB 977 The 80s Channel (HIGH BANDWIDTH)" in WinAmp. But this is due to the "title" set in the .pls and/or provided in the http- header. When I open http://64.236.34.97:80/stream/1040 directly in WMP 9, it also shows the station-name provided by "icy-name" in the header and the genre without problems, it seems. So WinAmp seems to have general icy-support. But maybe it doesn't support updates sent in the data-stream but just information provided in the http-header? <p>Max, would really appreciate if you could tell us a reproducable URL where you see metadata actually working.

Hi Stephan, I am talking about the meta-data: Artist - Song. It's weird because you are the second person on the list who doesn't get it working in Real... I just tried again with "BEK_dns" and "Radio Alcanzando Naciones" the 2 first MP3 radios I found in the stream directory and everything worked perfectly for Real (but not for WMP). In RealPlayer, I clicked HELP->About RealPlayer to check my version: it's the "version 10.0, Beta Build 6.0.12.687" Now I don't know if BEK_dns and Radio Alcanzando Naciones run on Icecast1 or Icecast2.

Hi Everybody, It works with Peercast because Peercast receives the headers from Icecast2 and sends its own headers back to the client (Winamp, WMP, Real...). Remember that Peercast is a client AND a server... I guess Peercast doesn't send back the headers in the same way than Icecast2. Maybe Peercast doesn't use ICY/X-audiocast. Talking about Real (v9.0 and 10), I already got the metadata displayed from Icecast but I didn't check if the server I was listening to was Icecast1 or Icecast2.
