FreeAmp does not support it. The way that NullSoft designed title
streaming is utter and complete crap and I refuse to write code to
support their shitty title streaming. The code we've got to synch to
the beginning is already too complex due to design flaws in the MP3
format itself. NullSoft made it worse by tossing title stream
information between MP3 frames -- really bad design in general.
However we support icecast title streaming -- icecast did a much better
job of managing the title streams...
