<p class="p">Xiph.org is a non-profit organization, which develops and promotes the OGG audio format.
It also hosts a list of ICEcast streaming stations (ICEcast is the non-commercial pendant
to the SHOUTcast server.)</p>
<p class="p">This channel is somehwat easy to read for Streamtuner2, because the source data is already
provided as <XML> file. (Internally we're using a caching service, which pre-converts
that into JSON lists. The Xiph-org JSON API isn't really working yet).</p>
<p class="p">However, it lacks some essential informations like station homepages and listener numbers.</p>
<p class="p">Xiph also uses the .xspf format, instead of .pls stream links</p>

<dd class="terms"><p class="p">The bitrate of an audio stream determines the music quality. Many Xiph streams have simple
and low quality microphone sources. To filter these out, and only leave high quality music
stations, you can therefore change this option. OGG starts to sound well with 96 kbit/s (whereas
MP3 often requires 128 or 160 kbit/s at least).</p></dd>
