    Hopefully someone else will find this idea useful and make a plugin. I need something to disply the "Now Playing" song info from an IceCast stream. The radio stream is hosted on Caster.FM if that makes any difference.

    External sounds cannot be added to minecraft without client-side mods, this technically could be done with noteblocks, but thats excessively difficult.

    He does not want to play songs in game, he is trying to display the name of the song that is "Now Playing" from that website.

    That being said, I do not see an API related to this website, so I do not know if this is possible in Bukkit. Sorry!
     
  4. Can't you do it with resource packs ?

    @MaTaMoR_ I'm not sure how to do it the way you're suggesting. However, I was thinking about this a lot today and it may be simpler that I thought. My radio software can generate a file with "Now Playing" info on every song change, and automatically upload it to an FTP server. So if I had a plugin that could "listen" for a certain file to be updated, then read and display the contents of that file in the chat window, most of the work could be done locally.
