Thanks.

I'll look into this. Not much of a radio stream user myself. I just remember that metadata handling often is pretty messy and the streams often don't report the proper track being played. Any good reference stream you could recommend for testing?

Not submitting radio stream tags has always been a pet peeve of mine. DKFM (https://radio.streemlion.com:4405/stream) seems to transmit tags correctly (or foobar2000 is doing something clever behind the scenes).

@tehfra, I researched this for a bit; it feels like tag ‘correctness’ often depends on the audio codec (and thus stream metadata) used. As an example, Foobar2000 itself, with streaming plugins like Streaming Client or OddCast/EdCast, gives me mojibake in tags for AAC yet perfectly valid UTF-8 for OGG Vorbis.

(It is also wise to keep in mind that radio stream metadata often does not have the artist/title split, it is just a single string.)
