Artist / Title info while streaming mp3

eblues · 8th May 2003, 04:19

Currently, when I stream mp3 files from my website via an .m3u playlist WinAmp shows only the filename. Additionally, if the Minibrowser is open it shows a "Music File Identification Error".

If I create and extended m3u that shows Artist/Song information, this info is initially shown in the playlist, but is over-written by the filename once the song starts playing.

This happens with both v2.81 and 3.0. Other players, such as WMP, RealPlayer and MM can read and display Artist/Song Title info while streaming MP3's. Is there a way to get WinAmp to do the same?

Thanks,
Herm

You're not alone.
We've been moaning about this for well over a year now.

Thanks for the feedback on this, DJ Egg. Wow, over a year on what seems would be a simple fix. Very uncharacteristic of Nullsoft.
