As I said earlier, Sonata relies on MPD to provide this kind of
information. Soanta can probably be smarter to display streams in
the Current playlist and removes all the Unknown values. We can also try
to display the name of the stream instead of the URL, that should be
possible, yes.
As for retrieving the metatags from the website, good luck writing the
plugin :) I think you would have better chance of playing with the
tags/information sent with the stream instead :) (I know some music
players which are able to display the tags associated with the stream,
but I'm not sure how MPD supports this and how Sonata behave with this
(probably badly :())
