Stream should send ID3 metadata

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When listening to the stream (http://chirpradio.org/listen) in Amarok I get
"CHIRP Radio" as the song title.  Shoutcast stuff supports sending metadata so 
we can get ID3 info on the current artist without looking it up in a browser 
and guessing which one is playing.

Expected results:
- Song title in my music player updates with each new song

Actual results:
- "CHIRP Radio" is the only thing shown in the player.

Stream does send meta data. Most players see it, but see it inconsistently. Jon 
Trowbridge knows a bit more about this, but we were testing once in the studio, 
both on same build of OS X with same version of iTunes pinging the same direct 
stream address and I got meta data just fine, he did not.

In doing research, it seems the shoutcast metadata spec is unreliable at best, 
which accounts for the inconsistencies. But it is there.

To make this thread complete, the Playlist Tracker does indeed submit ID3 data 
to Live 365 using its API, here:

However, I have not seen this ID3 data update in iTunes after the *first* time 
you open the steam.

I know this hasn't been touched since 2011, but I'm working on this. In order 
for our stream to include ID3 metadata, we need to provide it to the ProStream 
(c.f. pg. 39 of the ProStream manual).

I'm working on a service that will provide the data to the Prostream. Once I'm 
happy with it, I'll try to get it included in the Chirp codebase and then 
install it at the station.

I wrote a service to fix this. I'll need to install it in the studio and 
reconfigure the ProStream to complete the fix.

This looks great. Can you rename your repo so that the master is under the 
chirpradio org? You can still keep a fork in your account but this will make it 
easier to collaborate on. I sent you an invite to become a member of the 
chirpradio org. https://github.com/chirpradio/

Hey Kumar, thanks for the invite. It looks like you only gave me committer 
rights, which does not let me transfer a repo to chirpradio or create a repo. 

If you create a repo called chirpradio/chirp-current-track-announcer, I will 
add that as a remote, push everything to it, take down the original, and then 
fork the new chirpradio repo. Thoughts?

Oh, whoops. I added you to a new team within the org that should now let you 
create repos. Let me know if you have any difficulty. If you are able to turn 
on two factor auth for your github account that would be helpful.

I see that I've been added to owners, but it still won't let me transfer the 
repo. I'm going to get some sleep and see if I can figure out what's up in the 
morning.

I added you to owners at first but then I found a way to add you to a team that 
has write access so I removed you as an owner. You can't create repositories? 
Hmm. If it doesn't work I can put you back in owners.

Actually, I think owners are the only ones who can create repositories. I 
decided just to fork your project into chirpradio 
https://github.com/chirpradio/chirp-current-track-announcer . You should have 
push access to it!
