I thought some more about it ...
If you really can hear a difference between the flac stream and their
320k MP3 then next step is to work out where foobar2000 gets the
metadata from.

TuneIn probably has it because the radio station pushes the data to
TuneIn using a TuneIn proprietary API (I do the same for a station I am
involved with).

If TuneIn knew about the flac stream and offered it to LMS players then
LMS would show the song info if the favourite URL was set to a TuneIn
one.

So, if the station cannot get TuneIn to add the flac URL then rather
than trying to parse the station HTML it might be possible to trick LMS
into thinking that the stream URL came from TuneIn ... or replicate some
of the TuneIn code and fetch the song info from there.

If foobar2000 is finding the song info within the flac stream itself
then LMS, with a software update, should be able to do the same.
