<p class="p">SHOUTcast is the name of a MP3 streaming server software. It automatically collects all
station lists on shoutcast.com.

<li class="list"><p class="p">Station entries usually provide current playing information.</p></li>

<li class="list"><p class="p">Genres are subcategorized, so the main groups in the category
list must be expanded to see the interesting entries.</p></li>
</ul></div></div></div>
<p class="p">Since being sold from AOL to Radionomy, the directory got cut down. There are no longer
entries for currently played songs, and homepage links are largely gone. Hencewhy the
Shoutcast channel is no longer considered a primary feature.</p>

slower, but often more reliable than regular expressions, which look for plain text markers.</p></dd>
