Hi Max/all...

One thing that would be a great help in the NowPlaying plugin would be
if it was possible to strip/interpret/expand HTML character
descriptions such as "&"... The facility may exist already but if
so I was too stupid to spot it.

What I do currently is have the plugin write a text file called
"NowPlaying.txt" containing "<artist> - <title>" to a location where
NiceCast reads it and broadcasts it to our streaming server as metadata
to provide current track information for listeners. When the station
metadata is displayed on a remote player, the special characters appear
in their HTML format, eg "George Formby - Bless&#39;em All"

Suggestions welcome!

Thanks,
--Richard E
