I guess in 50 years (hopefully much sooner), people are going look
back and laugh of the situation as it is today. I guess the main reason

Well, yes and no. :) If you save a ShoutCast feed to your favorites

IIRC the Shoutcast station IDs are not permanent and so if you save a
favorite with one of those URLs it may point to a completely different

Here are a few more from my SN account, but I have more dead ShoutCast
