Description Raptor Ramjet 2007-05-13 12:38:40 UTC
Currently when I open Exaile I can see a large(ish) list of shoutcast internet radio stations which include a wide variety of categories/genres. 

However when I open Rhythmbox I can only see 4 internet radio stations which is somewhat disappointing (especially seeing that one of these is Virgin Radio which is total bland crap :)

I'd therefore like to see Ryhthmbox improved so I can see as many stations as I can under Exaile.  

In fact what I'd really like to see is a component that is shared between the two applications (in fact shared by any application that wants to make use of it) which will either search out a list of available shoutcast stations (sorry I don't know much about shoutcast so I don't know if there's some sort of discovery protocol for this ?) or will download a list from a central site (obviously with distributed mirrors etc. etc.

There's just so much good internet radio out there - which is so well hidden !!!

Probably something to do with the *AAs of the world trying to stifle competition and keep everyone on the spoon fed media outlets but...

Cheers.
