Album Cover Art with Shoutcast
I noticed that many shoutcast sites have their track data in a common format "Artist - Song Title'. Based on this, I could use the code I use to obtain the album cover art for MP3 files where not much meta data is available. So a simple parse of the content and a call to the art lookup code and we get this.

gnome-mplayer svn code?
Kevin - I cam across your post while looking for a player that will display album art for our new ShoutCast radio station. Is this a player you designed? Do you design custom players? Email me at info@nrtradio.net -Kevin (solid name!)
Hey Kevin, Im looking for a player that would display album art from my shoutcast stream. Did you design this player or did you find the code online? I been looking for weeks and havent found anything. Is this something you designed? If so, please email me at djchrisdeza AT gmail.com Thanks.
Chris,
Yes I built this code. It is part of gnome-mplayer and the code can be found at
http://code.google.com/p/gnome-mplayer/source/browse/trunk/src/support.c
Look for the function get_cover_art_url and that should help.
Kevin
