I have an ASX file that looks like this:

<ASX version="3.0">
<TITLE>Now Streaming...</TITLE>
<ENTRY>
<TITLE>Track 08</TITLE>
<REF href="http://someurl/?mswmext=.mp3" />
<AUTHOR>Cool Band Band</AUTHOR>
</ENTRY>
</ASX>

If I put it in a file called "file.asx", the show Title ("Now
Streaming..." is displayed in WMP on the playlist dropdown button, and
the clip title ("Track 08") is displayed as the title in the playlist
and also the overlay in the top-left of the visualization window (this
is in Full Mode).

If I take that same "file.asx" and put it on my web site and click a
hyperlink to it via IE, WMP opens fine it an everything appears normal
except the show title is displayed for both the playlist dropdown
button (correct) AND the clip title in the playlist (incorrect). The
clip title in the visualization overlay still says "Track 08".

The mime type on IIS for.asx is "video/asf".

Any ideas why this might be happening?

Thanks in advance! =)

To clarify, the MIME type for ASF is "video/x-ms-asf".

Remote ASX files use slightly different rules, as you've noticed. Since
they can't be expanded, the "Show" title is used in both locations.
