[icecast-dev] Stream metadata settings

[Mr. Stauf]

Very true.
I guess the laws are changing everywhere.  Here in the states, I think we
can still get away with a lot of streaming if we ask permission, if the
music isn't part of the RIAA, etc.
So germanies laws are that restrictive as well?  I had no idea. :1

P.s. I think that this feature would benefit those who have to deal with such
silly restrictions.
