All contributions welcome!!

I've not played with streams.res - I just edit stuff into the setup
screen. I assume that ends up in the database rather than a flat file...

At least the shoutcast stuff I'm using (with shoutcast.pl) is getting good
results by searching on genre, ordering by the number of listeners and
listing 100 stations that I can scroll down. This is an example of a URL I
harvest for links:
http://www.shoutcast.com?s=blues&orderby=listeners&numresult=100

I've tried parsing the text-mode links on the BBC site but no luck so far
(assembler & C I can cope with but not perl!!)
