	<p>SHOUTcast is the name of a MP3 streaming server software. It automatically collects all
	station lists on shoutcast.com. Currently lists over 85000 stations.

	<title><code>🔠 Shoutcast playlist format </code></title>
        <p>Per default <link xref="filetypes#pls">*.pls</link> station
        links will be retrieved. But shoutcast also allows for
        <link xref="filetypes#m3u">*.m3u</link> or <link
        xref="filetypes#xspf">*.xspf</link> playlists.</p>
        <p> Alternatively the "raw" option will use IDs to look up the
        direct streaming URL with a subsequent AJAX request (bit slower;
        meant as fallback in case the tunein-station.pls links break).</p>

	<item>
	<title><code>❏  Use developer API </code></title>
        <p>Instead of scanning the website, there's also an API for
        searching stations. It's only meant for alternative shoutcast
        directory websites; and you won't easily get an API key.
        Required installed module: <cmd>pip install shoutcast-api</cmd></p>
