I'm trying to get access somehow to "what's playing" on the BBC Radio Stations, would be cool to have on a wall mounted tablet, that way I could choose whether to turn on the (web) radio and tune in!

Interesting re the “now playing” data you extracted from the FIP stream. I use various iOS and Mac apps to stream web radio, and some stations will easily show the song info in the app, like Classic FM http://media-ice.musicradio.com/ClassicFMMP3.m3u and Radio Paradise http://radioparadise.com/m3u/mp3-128.m3u , and some won’t, like the BBC stations as you mention. Although this BBC page claims that they do send the song name data for R1, R2, R3 and R6... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/help/mobile/chrome/track_now_playing ...unfortunately it does not show in any app I’ve used. Would be good if it did. I’m particularly keen to see the song names for FIP - I’m not a programmer though, I’m only using web radio streaming apps. I can only use radio streams as they come, so either they have the song name info or they don’t. The FIP stream http://direct.fipradio.fr/live/fip-midfi.mp3 doesn’t give me song names, yet you’re able to extract them as you detail above. For me the song name needs to be sent in the stream in the more conventional way, if this makes sense, as Radio Paradise etc do. I’ve just sent an email (in french) to FIP / Radio France asking about this. I’ll see what they say. Who knows, they might update their systems. FIP fan here.

I see that FIP has an open API ( https://developers.radiofrance.fr/ ) and is doing regular hackathons. My skill is zero, otherwise I'd be playing FIP on my PasPi already... Very cool!
