    You should grab page's content (with file_get_contents or curl) and then use the following regular expression to get the song title.
    $pattern = '#<td[^>]+>.+?Current Song.+?</td><td>.+?<b>([^<]+)</b></td>#si';
    PHP:
    tip: Add user agent header to file_get_contents.

    curl for that url and get the content in a variable then extract your interest part from that.

    see php manual for curl.
