There can be a number of reasons why a stream wont play.

We now keep the list of available streams on our server and the master 
backend checks for updates periodically. Unfortunately I haven't updated 
the list for a while so it's possible some streams have been removed or 
updated in the master database we use but our list doesn’t have the 
changes yet.

It could be the database we use (http://www.radiosure.com/stations/) has 
bad data, it's a user generated list so you can help everyone if you 
find a mistake by correcting it.

Some stations are geo blocked so depending on your geographical location 
you may be blocked from playing them.

It could also be our player is having trouble playing a particular 
stream. If you find one that wont play but you can play using another 
player then open a ticket in trac and maybe someone will take a look.
