^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This allows to set custom metadata formats for the Shoutcast title field.
Previously only ``artist - title`` was allowed. For example if you were
broadcasting as part of a station, you could add the station's name or the
presenter's name in the title: ``MyStation | $artist - $title``.
You can use the following tags:
``$artist``, ``$title``, ``$album``, ``$year``, ``$genre`` and ``$bpm``.

For example if you were broadcasting as part of a station, you could add
the station's name or the presenter's name in the title:
``MyStation | $artist - $title``.
Or if you were doing a live mix with several artists, you could have:
``Live mix by MyName - currently playing: $artist``. Or even if you wanted a
very unusual format: ``Hey, I like $artist, here is $title by $artist``.
very unusual format: ``Hey, I like $artist, here is $title from the album
$album by $artist``.

The changes **do not** affect the case for the combination of OGG/Icecast2.
