Hi all,
Some Internet radio streams fail upon connecting. I am particularely
interested in this stream:

It is part of the Slimdevices Picks, by city, Amsterdam, Radio 1 - News

I have copied the URL from the original
Well there is a slight relationship: after all the tracks are added to
the database, album art is collected.
So if it dies during the track-scan, it won't get to the scan for
artwork and will only pick up what it gets while playing (which doesn't
show up in Browse Artwork).
