Availability, +content, geographic restrictions, formats, URLs, and terms can change without +notice to this repository. + +The addon only provides a user-facing pointer to the configured stream endpoint. + +## Maintenance/removal + +If a station operator changes or withdraws a public stream endpoint, the +directory entry should be updated or removed. + +Maintainers should avoid embedding station audio files directly into the addon +unless separate redistribution rights have been clearly established.
