You should also be able to get the song info from the stream itself (in real time). Most folks who are writing Sirius stream players are using the actual stream for currently playing channel song updates and that auxiliary website for channel browsing (seeing what's playing across other channels). You may want to switch to using the actual stream for song info. If/When you develop a channel browser or web interface, knowing what's playing across channels (without hitting the play button) will be come valuable. You might want to download the Yahoo Widget Sirius Tuner. http://www.widgetgallery.com/view.php?widget=38478 It's a fine non-slimserver example an effective, efficient implementation of Sirius stream playback. It blows away what Sirius offers to its subscribers. If you can eventually come close to the feature set the Yahoo Widget Sirius Tuner offers for Slimserver/Squeezebox, I think you've conquered the task you set out for. *Bradley -- Bradley ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bradley's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=46 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20621 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
