Does anyone know what meta data to send to send the name of the song to players like XMMS or winamp? I see how to send the station name, but I don't see how to change that between songs... Thanks!

Update: Ahh, I see. I had to add code to send out icy-metaint in the header, and then puncture the stream with that meta data. There is a good description here:

and here at http://ample.sourceforge.net/developers.shtml

New Question Does anyone know how to downsample the MP3 that is being streamed here by the Perl Monkey code? Thanks!

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
