Author SnackAmp + streaming mp3 + song info

While experimenting with the latest version of SnackAmp, I noticed that
it does not get the song information from the stream. (It does get the
ShoutCast meta tags, but that's not what I am looking for.) Tom, do you
have plans on implementing this in the future?

At first glance, this would be tricky. Currently the buffer is passed off to the
snack playback engine which handles the buffereing and playback. It would either
require a different scheme or custom C code in snack to handle the embedded
metadata. So in short, no I don't have any plans for this in the future.
