Currently to listen to online radio stations you have to add them manually and find URL's and favicons yourself. It would however be great if Elisa supported searching for radio stations from radio-browser.info.

Quick snippet from their website:

> This is a community driven effort (like Wikipedia) with the aim of collecting as many internet radio and TV stations as possible.

>    Free for ALL!
>    Data license: public domain, software license: GPL, server software: open source
>    Open API for usage in own apps
>    Everyone is free to use the collected data (station names, tags, links to stream, links to homepages, language, country, state) in their works. I give all the rights I have at the accumulated data to the public domain.

It includes tons of radio stations world wide and because it has an API, it should be relatively easy to add support for.

+1 for this, would be really useful.

I could try implementing this, but I'm really not sure where to start and how to make a good KDE UI :P
