Description Ralf.Nieuwenhuijsen 2006-10-16 23:12:22 UTC 
That the radio tab is upgraded to have two selections: providers and genres.
The providers would be shoutcast/google/etc. the genres would be the default genre list (they seem to all use the same list of genres). And the stations would be retrieved from the internet.

Sort of like an integrated streamtuner. This program should be a good starting point to see how to parse and where to connect to to get this information. I might be simplifiying it a bit, but my guess is that its just a bunch of regular expressions.

This is the link to streamtuner:

Another clarification: I meant providers/genres in the same interface style as the  artist/album currently is.

In the preferences panel there could be an option to define how many stations to retrieve. My suggestion would be get just the 50 most popular ones based on the query. If any of the providers do not allow this kind of query, I would just not include them. 

Most people that listen to internet radio don't really care about the station, only about the music. And 20 genres times 50 sounds like enough radio stations for  every one.

This is basically what bug 127794 is now. I should get around to updating and improving the initial patch on that bug.
