Re: Playlist Metadata, Streaming and no id3 Tags

	In http://lists.xmms.org/pipermail/xmms-devel/2003-December/002648.html
I posted a hack that might indicate a workaround for you. That hack
deals with this problem for playing files, but breaks streaming titles.
Perhaps a twist on it will fix streaming titles. Meanwhile, the actual
bug is probably in the underlying plugin that actually receives/plays
the stream. I've got revised playlist code that fixes this problem, but
development is stalled pending feedback from the Xmms developers on
integrating submitted code with the project. Good luck
