The "new" way is to use an open encapsulation format like Ogg or WebM.
Ogg has well defined metadata and is well suited for streaming. WebM
doesn't deal well with metadata updates.
Support for Vorbis, Opus and WebM is decent in players nowadays. Also
Android can handle that and should deal much better with the metadata as
it's part of the Ogg spec and not retrofitted into a raw bit-stream.
