I keep a list of radio streams in an m3u file. Here's a sample:

#EXTM3U

#EXTINF:-1,Eclectic24
http://kcrw.ic.llnwd.net/stream/kcrw_music

#EXTINF:-1,CreativeFreedom
http://streaming.radionomy.com/creative-freedom

#EXTINF:-1,Dublab
http://dublab.streamguys.com:80/high.mp3

In VLC, the above titles are displayed in the title column until a stream is played, at which point its title is replaced with the one given by the server, and currently playing track info gets displayed in the status bar.

In MusicBee, the title column only ever shows the stream URL, and current track info doesn't show up at all.

It would be great to see full support for m3u playlists, and any streams therein.

Hi there,

I've found a similar problem with my playlist. I use SubSonic to stream my music but I just don't get MusicBee to show the relevant info. Weird because both WMP and VLC actually show the information properly.

Sample from the M3U file generated by SubSonic below
