Can someone recommend the best library to retrieve SHOUTcast and Icecast metadata in C or C++? I've looked around but can't seem to find a good library. Thanks in advance!

Not sure if you've seen this, but it might point you in the right direction: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9239022/broadcast-to-icecast-shoutcast-with-objective-c-c-or-c – David Nov 01 '13 at 06:29

Shoutcast and Icecast handle this differently. Are you acting as the client or the server? – jeremy Nov 05 '13 at 18:42

@jeremy, the client (hence "retrieve") – William Seemann Nov 05 '13 at 19:27

If you can't find it yourself, you could try to make your own, based on documentation, you just need to parse the stream, Headers, get the protocol, then there is a field, which tells you the length of each "sound" frame, followed for some meta-data frame, and then again, sound frame.
Here is some information of how shoutcast/icecast works. Hope it helps!
