How do you get metadata usings b.u.t.t.?

The RadioBoss internal encoder has been continutously dropping the stream for months now, so I've resorted to using the b.u.t.t. encoder. How do I incorporate metadata thru b.u.t.t. using RadoBoss?

Instruct your RadioBOSS to save the metadata to a text file
Instruct the B.U.T.T to read the first line of the text file and use it as metadata

Thank you, I can try that. It mostly worked. no album artwork and I have strange characters before the Artist. "Now Playing: LOCASH - One Big Country Song"

It seems that BUTT or the server you stream to does not support Unicode. In RadioBOSS, switch "nowplaying.txt" file to be "TXT" instead of "TXT-UTF8".
