well, if someone is say, running an mp3 stream and also a jabber bot that handles requests and track information; because mp3 streams can't handle any information other than the stream title and current track (well, as one whole string), it would be handy so that if a listener wants information about the track beyond 'artist - title', they could have it provided to them via jabber. that a point; 'filename' might be a handy value as well.
