#
# A modern alternative to ShoutCast/ICEcast.
# Streams are user-contributed, but often lack meta data (homepage) and
# there's no ordering by listeneres/popularity.
#
# OTOH it's every easy to interface with. Though the repeated API queries
# due to 10-entries-per-query results make fetching slow.
