All of my MP3's on my computer are categorized in folders named by the artist. I don't have any id tags on my MP3's. So all that is shown is the song title in the status section. My question is, is there any way to have icecast go out and grab the folder name so that the artist name will appear in the status window? Also I use an m3u playlist to do the job. thanks Chris -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

What happens with the artist data is up to whatever application is doing the streaming to the server. If your filenames are in good order, then you might want to take a look at Tag & Rename which can go through and add the proper tags based on the filename. -I
