Icecast - Jun 2006 - client not displaying metadata on current song

Hello,
    I've got icecast2.31 and ices 0.4 streaming a static playlist of
mp3's.
I can connect with winamp version 5, and i see and hear the currently 
playing song. When that song goes to the next one title doesn't change, 
checking it in the ices.log file the information is updated appropriately. 
I've tried setting public to 1 in ices.conf, but that didn't do it.
I'm
starting to think this is a winamp odity, but i'd appreciate any second 
opinions.
Thanks.
Dave.

check that ices is updating the metadata, you can check the icecast logs 
for that, either metadata updating in error log or /admin/metadata in 
access log. You can also check the status page for the titles.

Check that your player (winamp) is requesting the metadata from the server.

The public setting in ices is for advertising the stream on a directory 
server.

Hello,
    Thanks for your reply. I've checked ices.log and icecast's access
and
error logs, i'm not seeing any errors in my setup. I'm now assuming that
it's winamp5, this was previously working. I do not know what setting to 
check, any suggestions welcome.
Thanks.
Dave.
