Thank you for your article, was very util for me !!
I did changed this for get the icy-metaint header.

final static public String BITERATE_HEADER = “icy-metaint”;
String metaInterval = con.getHeaderField(BITERATE_HEADER);

instead

StringBuilder headers = new StringBuilder();
char c;
while ((c = (char)in.read()) != -1) {
headers.append(c);
if (headers.length() > 5 && (headers.substring((headers.length() – 4), headers.length()).equals(“\r\n\r\n”))) {
// end of headers
break;
}
}

//System.out.println(headers);
// headers look like this:
// ICY 200 OK
// icy-notice1:
This stream requires Winamp

// icy-notice2: Firehose Ultravox/SHOUTcast Relay Server/Linux v2.6.0

// icy-name: .977 The 80s Channel
// icy-genre: 80s Pop Rock
// icy-url: http://www.977music.com
// content-type: audio/mpeg
// icy-pub: 1
// icy-metaint: 16384
// icy-br: 128

Pattern p = Pattern.compile(“\\r\\n(icy-metaint):\\s*(.*)\\r\\n”);
Matcher m = p.matcher(headers.toString());
if (m.find()) {
metaIntervalString = m.group(2);
}

Thanks a Lot !!

ok, let it be known, i’m new to java. i think the code above does exactly what i’ve been trying to implement: grabbing metadata info off an online mp3 stream (song name, station, etc). problem is, i’m not too sure how to actually use the code above… assuming that is straight java, does it require some external class file or similar? if so, can i get a copy of that from you?

thanx
