Update Shoutcast Directory...
Why don't we enable Icecast users who are streaming MP3 to list themselves in the Shoutcast directory? Is this good or bad behaviour?
It'd be great in that the Shoutcast directory gets a lot more traffic than the XIPH one, so it supports the goal of Broadcasters to reach as wide of an audience as possible. Not so great in that it is arguably bad behaviour and we're taking advantage of AOL/Nullsoft.
It is true however that any WinAmp user (at least after 3.x) will be able to connect to the Ogg or MP3 streams of Icecast servers, so that's not a limitation.
One thing's for sure is it'll draw a lot more traffic to IceCasters and that's always good.
