Artist Info Lookup (radio)
« on: October 31, 2003, 09:26:00 am »

Is Media Center mp3 Tag Info of files playing at internet radio stations for Artist Info button lookup?  e.g., bluesonair.com uses shoucast to broadcast mp3.  The Artist and Songname are diplayed in the MC9 player window correctly but not be processed the same is mp3 files on my hard drive.

The following is what my MC9 sees when looking at radio Tag Info.
Incorrect:
http://www.musicex.com/cgi-bin/artistinfo/find.pl?Artist=&Album=&Title=Dr. John - Since I Fell For You

This is what it should see.
Correct:
http://www.musicex.com/cgi-bin/artistinfo/find.pl?Artist=Dr. John&Title=Since I Fell For You

Many players provide the option of looking up the artist and album of the song playing.  MC9 does display artist and song info lookup for files on my hard drive, however, when I click to obtain artist info from a radio station, a url syntax is passed to the lookup engine (above) but the syntax does not seem to properly separate the artist from the song title so it fails to find a match.  Is there any way you can fix this behavior?

I love MC9!  Winamp displays artist and song info but doesn't even attempt to lookup artist info in its mini-browser.  RealOne isn't doing it either.  Musicmatch and Windows Media Player don't even display artist or song info.
