Probably a simple Question.....Web Plug-in Mike "YO_BEE" B 4/24/2007 11:16:00 AM I am looking to add a display to my website that shows what song is currently playing on my radio stream, but does not utilize any of the Bandwidth. I am a novice when it comes to programming. Any help would be great.

What sort of radio stream is it - i.e. what program are you using to deliver the stream ? That's really important to know. There would need to be some mechanism to pass the current song data to whatever you're using to play the content - I think if you're using Shoutcast, it will embed the current track info into the MP3 stream. You can usually read that data - some of the free Flash based music streamer packages will be able to decode and display that while they play your MP3. One example of that is http://www.wimpyplayer.com/ which can list a directory of files as a now playing list as well as an XML playlist http://www.wimpyplayer.com/products/mp3/icecast.html HTH Cheers - Neil ------------------------------------------------ Digital Media MVP : 2004-2007 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/mvpfaqs

I am streaming to my forum group. So everyone that listens to the stream is using a web page with an embedded WMP or a Stand-alone WMP.
