Re: song title and artist

Chris,

To show this info on a web page you can write some JavaScript to parse your Icecast server - either the internal part or the public-facing part - and print to HTML.

Because you are using version 2.3.2, your unauthenticated options are more limited. The script I sent you should work fine with some minor modifications. I am not an expert in this(!!), but when I tried to run it, I was denied due to your server's CORS policy. Explain what you're trying to do to the person who maintains your web server.

Exactly. The only problem I am having is displaying the metadata while it plays in a web page. Clicking our .mp3 link plays the sound but doesn't show title, etc. This is one of our web sites. https://blackpower96.org/. It has http://icecast.uhururadio.com:8010/uhururadio.mp3 included for the sound stream.
I did not develop it but I am trying to help them display song titles, etc  when someone clicks "listen live".

TIA

FWIW (I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve there), the stream is
sending metadata OK.
So you probably want to play it back with an application that knows how
to read it - like most media players.
