sorry for being unclear.

yes, shoutcast streams, the title of the stream is shown in the status bar and in the window title.

would be a great improvement for stream listeners if they don't need to open the media information or press pause to see what is "now playing". maybe in the future, stream title in the vlc windows title and now playing in the status bar?

but there is some kind of bug with media information. http://www.di.fm/ open one stream and in media information window "now playing" is there. change to another stream and there is no more "now playing" in the media information window but if you press pause it shows it in the status bar.
