Subject: [PATCH] Stop ShoutCAST rejecting title updates

When Libretime streams a webstream, the ID3 data is put into a single title field, leaving the artist field blank. When processing the ID3 data, Libretime concatenates the blank 'artist' field with the title, leaving '- title'. ShoutCAST rejects title updates that begin with punctuation for stylistic reasons (thanks guys) and so effectively ignores all ID3 data coming with the stream, falling back to the 'Station off-air' message. This PR uses the title field alone if the artist field is blank, but both when the artist data is available e.g. when streaming an MP3.
