Understandable, if you don't listen to internet-streams regularly.
I would like to take a look at it in the next few weeks if I can find
some free time to burn (...if only my days had more hours :-/ ).
Additionally I'm still not happy with the way cmus names the streams
by default (we had that earlier) - hopefully I'm able to work a bit on
that field as well.
