i'd like to see support for browsing shoutcast like streamtuner.

From shoutcast.com's Terms of Use:

"Systematic retrieval of data or other content from the Directory or other use of such data and other content, directly or indirectly, to create or compile a collection, database or directory without written permission from Nullsoft is prohibited."

***

What we can/will do instead:

Provide a html browser tab, where you can open arbitrary sites, e.g. shoutcast.com. You can then simply click on a stream to start it. Combined with a bookmark handling facility this should be quite comfortable.
