Track data not shown for FLAC radio stream

The following FLAC stream sends track artist/title metadata, but it is not being shown in Foobar 1.5.5; the data is shown in XMPlay and AIMP:  http://stream.radioparadise.com/flacm

Also noticed that bitrate is erroneously shown as "128kbs" in Properties, while the correct rate does show in the status bar.

Quick comment about the wrong bitrate. The properties dialog shows file (or stream) specific information. The server returns the 128 kbps value. Statusbar shows dynamic information extracted from the incoming data. That is not a bug.

Edit: I went ahead to test XMPlay. After finding a FLAC plugin to make it able to play FLACs I still don't see it showing any titles for the stream.

Thanks Case for clarifying on the bitrate value.  Below is a screenshot of XMPlay displaying artist/title track info for this FLAC stream.  It is using the regular xmp-flac.dll plugin available from the XMPlay website at un4seen.  The AIMP player also shows the metadata.

Case--any chance the artist/title track display for this FLAC stream may be implemented for Foobar?  Here is a screenshot of AIMP showing the track metadata from it, so it is indeed present.

Ogg chained streams are supported by foobar2000.

These FLAC streams are sending shoutcast StreamTitle metadata , IIRC foobar2000 does not support Shoutcast metadata with Ogg streams.

Thanks for the stream analysis on this, zeremy!  I guess that changes this to a "wishlist" item--supporting Shoutcast metadata with Ogg streams.  I appreciate it that you took a look.

Thanks for the info, feature request noted.

... technically this is about as bad as tagging FLAC files with ID3v1 tags would be, instead of using the proper spec.

I believe Bill still codes his own software to run the station and streaming, perhaps drop him a note via the RP web site and let him know about this thread.
