Description Bastien Nocera 2007-01-31 11:36:38 UTC 
(I had this great bug report, but Ephy crashed on me :/ )

Better because:
- Free formats should be pushed by projects like Rhythmbox
- Allow out-of-the-box playback on many distributions that don't ship MP3 plugins

And a list of radios:
- Virgin Radio (UK, and it's sister stations)
- CBC (Canada, 1 & 2)
- NRK (Norway, http://www.nrk.no/lyd/, a good 8 stations)

I think it would be best to keep to "big" radio stations, there are enough stream directories on the internet.

Or we could provide a way to download a list of radio stations, depending on the formats supported by the installation, with the list hosted on the Rhythmbox website.

How about adding WBUR 90.9 FM: Boston's NPR News Station in ogg format to the list of default preset stations?

These issues are now fixed in trunk.
