I don't understand why you're doing it this way.

-X lets you *replace* the GET-command. So it enters that string instead of
just 'GET'.

*NO*. You add request headers with -H. I figure you want something like:

curl -o foo.mp3 -I -H "User-Agent: xmms/1.0.1" -H
"Icy-MetaData:1" http://10.0.0.2:8000/

The user-agent string can also be set with -A.
