No, this isn't possible. SHOUTcast doesn't use ID3 tags.

SHOUTcast instead uses its own metadata protocol. You will need to write something server-side that connects to the SHOUTcast server, gets the metadata, and returns it in JSON or something else. Then, you can use a simple AJAX call to get the data you need.
