I have a friend who DJ's music and is wanting his own board that reads the information from his ShoutCast, I think, server. So, I started writing it when I got stuck upon realizing that my plan to get the information on the URL as a string list wasn't going to work.

Now, I don't know any PHP and someone told me that I may need to know some of that in order to do this, but I was wondering if anyone would be willing to give me a hand on this or is able to give me pointers on what I need to do. Or just flat out tell me it is not possible to do this in just LSL works too.

And yes, I am ready to start from scratch if I need too.

IIRC shoutcast servers (icecast for sure) have an xml page for info on what's playing, etc... so by requesting the page through through google search or a translation site should allow you to return key elements without hitting the 2k bytes return cap. you may also be able to do it via rpc, and it seems like someone wrote a script for that somewhere.
