Description Jon Bolt 2006-09-22 01:48:52 UTC 
I was wondering if its possible to include album covers with internet radio - it appears you can get the artist and song name, from here you can have a best guess at which album its from. 

There may be a problem in that the same song can be on multiple albums, is it possible to get the album name from the radio station?

We don't really get the artist name from shoutcast streams.  The stream contains a single 'title' field, which usually contains some mangled combination of the artist and song title.  It's also limited in length (32 chars, I think), which makes it even less useful.  We could add some code to the artdisplay plugin to try to parse the string and find a cover image, but I wouldn't expect it to be particularly accurate.
