Trying to download .mp3 from web into Flash, am clueless.

Okay, this is the code that I currently have. It's a small demo file right now, but in essence it's passed a URL to an online .mp3, which is then downloaded and hypothetically played. That doesn't seem to be working, as no sound is played and the id3 information comes up blank. Does anyone have any ideas? I do apologize if this seems basic, I'm relatively new at this. Thanks in advance!

stop();

var song:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("http://x.mp3"));

song.play();

trace(song.id3.TPE1 + " - " + song.id3.TIT2 + " on " + song.id3.TALB);

edit: Added the second end parentheses to line 2, that was a transcription mistake.

As well, I have a suspicion that the problem has to do with my host, FileFreak. If anyone could say if that's the problem, or has a recommendation for a better host for this purpose, I would appreciate it.
