ID3 metadata in audio player?

  I had mp3 audio in a few Livejournal posts using the 1pixelout audio player I had downloaded to my own web hoster (I’m not using the WP software there, so pleeez don’t sent me to WP.org!) In Livejournal, my player displayed the mp3 file’s ID3 metadata while the music was playing. The default WordPress.com player doesn’t do that — for the same mp3 files, all that player ever displays is “Track #1”.

  I’d like artist/title info to show in this thing. Anybody have any clues? I’m not sure which ID3 version I tagged my mp3s with (ID3v1 or v2), could that be an issue?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Interesting. The player version I had been using automagically pulled the metadata out of the mp3 header, I didn’t have to code it into the post. 1pixelout’s player was designed specifically for WordPress. Maybe the version I have is newer? Older?

  It is what it is, I guess. Thanks for the workaround!
