PHP Warning: Attempt to read property "SONGTITLE" on bool in
The first warning message indicates that the XML load failed and the function returned false. You need to add some error validation at this point.
$shoutcast = simplexml_load_file(...);
if ($shoutcast) {
// read XML
} else {
// log error
}
Also, some servers expect valid user agents. You can use libxml_set_streams_context() provide additional request headers.
PHP Deprecated: addslashes(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated
So $shoutcast is false and $shoutcast->SONGTITLE is an undefined value. However addslashes() expects a mandatory string parameter in the current PHP versions. You old PHP still allows it, but it warn about the change in newer versions.
The whole line $music = htmlspecialchars(addslashes($shoutcast->SONGTITLE)); looks like pre-emptive escaping. Don't do that. Only escape if you know the target and just before you insert it. Most of the time here are better options (Prepared statements for the database, DOM for HTML outputs, ...).
Reading a string value from SimpleXMLElement:
The 'SimpleXMLElement' instance: $shoutcast->SONGTITLE;
Fallback for missing node: $shoutcast->SONGTITLE ?? '';
Cast to string: (string)($shoutcast->SONGTITLE ?? '');
Assign to variable: $music = (string)($shoutcast->SONGTITLE ?? '');
