Would like to know if it is possible to either add a feature to display streaming music info in titlebar or a way of extracting the data I need? ie artist / track / time etc..?
That's technically possible for sure. One just has to hook into the code printing out meta data to the terminal and add printout to STDOUT using the special escape sequences needed for stuff to appear in the title. Bonus for cutting the information down to fit into the title line.
As it is now, there is only a little hack to display the file name. It would be an obvious extension to print a selection of the meta data.
Note the absence of any hint at me implementing this. After all, you just asked if it's possible;-) To be serious: I got other things on my schedule for at least a month or so. I'd consider a patch given that it improves on the structure a bit (factor out a title printing routine from the special lines in mpg123.c, use that in metaprint.c, adding a command line parameter for the new behaviour as folks may depend on current scheme of file name only).
