parsing information from .asx

[testforecho]

I am new to PHP. I am trying to extract the artist, title, etc. from
this .asx stream: http://www.sirius.com/asx/6lu9ladr/starlite.asx

I understand .asx is Windows code, but I assume this still may be
possible. Where can I begin to figure out how to do something like this?
Any resource suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
TFE

These are the contents of the asx:

To get all that info about the streams then, I assume you have to do more
than parse the ASX file...you have to actually connect to the media and get
the info that way.

I've never messed with it though....sorry.
