I have no problem streaming and listening to any radio streams. However, when listening to Soma.fm, I am not getting track updates when songs changed. Currently, Amarok only has "Stream (http://streamer-dtc-aa01.somafm.com:80/stream/1018)". Is there any way to get some more readable track information from this? The Radio paradise stream works as expected. If this is an issue with Soma.fm, is there any addition information I can report to them about what the issue might be?
Thanks,
Jim

It's probably an issue with Phonon's GStreamer backend. Install the VLC backend instead (if you're on Kubuntu the package is phonon-backend-vlc), switch to it in Phonon's settings (settings > configure Amarok > playback > configure Phonon > backend), and see if that helps.

This was it! Fixed now, thanks.
