Send audio stream "title" as meta data?

Hello,

With MP3 audio streams, I presume it's not possible to send the song title and artist to the player via DLNA as it changes from song to song. But is it possible to send the user designated "title" of the stream (whether the stream is MP3 or MMS, etc) instead, in maybe the "Artist" field or something please?

Thanks for your considersation.

Upnp Metadata should be used for each audio item: Title, creator(artist), album, genre, duration, size.

With some MP3 radio streams, the metadata is also sent from the host. However, I am not sure if one can send this info via DLNA as the data changes from song to song. i.e. can you change the title/artist metadata being sent via DLNA multiple times on a single stream? The DLNA player just sees that radio stream as a single file I am guessing.

I thought as much. Would it please be possibly to send through the user-defined name for the stream (when that feature is added)? Thanks in advance.
