###########################################################################
# This is an example script that sends external metadata to streamripper.
# It implements an external program that:
# 1) Fetches a web page
# 2) Searches the web page for the artist and title information
# 3) Sends the information to streamripper
#
# To invoke the script, do this:
# streamripper URL -E "perl fetch_external_metadata.pl META_URL"
#
# This assumes that META_URL is the URL with the artist/title information
#
# You will need perl and LWP::Simple installed to run this script.
# On unix, you install LWP::Simple as root, like this:
# perl -MCPAN -e 'install LWP::Simple';
# On windows, LWP::Simple is included in the ActiveState perl distribution.
#
# This script is in the public domain. You are free to use, modify and
# redistribute without restrictions.
